Augusto Sicaré's passion for helicopters began at age four. He built his first prototype using his mother's bed frame at 18. Now, at 77, he owns a family business in La Pampa, Argentina, producing ultralight helicopters, known as 'mosquitos', used for various purposes like avoiding traffic, filming, and rescue. The company exports globally, with prices ranging from $75,000 to $180,000.
