Sebastián Álvarez always wanted to fly. He pursued his dream by joining the Chilean Air Force, where he became a skilled military pilot and skydiver. But over time, even military freefall felt too structured - he craved something wilder. That’s when he discovered wingsuit flying.

Nicknamed 'Ardilla' (Spanish for squirrel), Álvarez became known for his precise, agile flights, much like the flying squirrel. Unlike thrill-seekers who take blind risks, he carefully studies, plans and perfects every detail before attempting a stunt.
