My flying life: Matt Henzi

How and when did you get into flying? 

I’ve been really into the idea of flying ever since I was a kid. I’d sit on my bed and imagine flying a plane all day long. But I first free-flew on13 March 2009. Before that I’d been into snowboarding and mountain guiding.

What’s your earliest flying memory?

My first plane flight to Disneyland when I was nine years old. My mom was scared to death. I was glued to the window the entire time, in awe.
