#14 - Flying Boat round-the-world record holder Michael Smith

Episode Summary

Michael Smith, like his namesake Kingsford Smith, is an adventure seeker and in 2016 became the first person to fly solo around the world in a single-engine flying boat. But it's his new flying boat that is grabbing the attention.

Episode Notes

Flying boats attracted Michael Smith to aviation. He had purchased his first flying boat before he finished his private pilot licence. But at heart, he is a true adventure seeker. That trait found him on the adventure of a lifetime flying a single engine flying boat around the world, by himself! After discovering the 2 seat aircraft wasn't going to fulfil his future needs, Michael tracked down the perfect private seaplane money could buy, leading to another international adventure retracing the steps of a flight completed exactly 100 years prior.
