Murray Smith: flying to get away from it all

AOPA NZ Live Member Murray Smith has been flying for a long time, and he absolutely loves it. In this video he shares some of his experiences, including a flying “trip of a lifetime” around Australia, and also the joy of passing the love of flying to his son. He also shares how flying enables him to park complex issues, go and have a fly, and on your return “look at problems from a different angle.” Perhaps a new form of therapy?
