I'm sorry to everyone I hurt. But I don't want anyone to do what I did, Smith told A Current Affair. • That decision in 2006 keeps affecting me. Unfortunately or fortunately it shapes who I am today. • Smith was living in Canada in 2006 when he was approached in a nightclub by a group of people who were looking for a helicopter pilot. • Someone threw some money at me and said, 'Go and take a lesson tomorrow', Smith said. • I did and the instructor said I was a natural. That was the beginning of the end. • Smith would begin flying smuggling missions carrying marijuana from Canada to the US. • I would take off from a little unmanned airport. I had the helicopter sorted and I'd fly up a valley and into a creek, he said. • I'd meet a 4WD and land behind it and within a minute the helicopter would be loaded with marijuana and I'd fly south into the US. • Smith would fly more than 20 missions before he was caught. • It was $100,000 a trip for a couple of hours of work, Smith said. • In late 2006, he learned that his mother, Naree, had cancer. • Smith travelled home to spend a few days with Naree before returning back to North America on a flight from Sydney to Los Angeles. • When he arrived back in LA, agents from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement were waiting for him in the terminal. • My world changed. I was shipped off to a federal facility. No guards, four walls, 180 guys, good or bad, Smith said. • He pleaded guilty to drug trafficking and was sentenced to one year in prison. • If I could go back and change it, I would. There's no question I'd change it, Smith said. • While he was in jail, he lost both his mother and his brother, Dave. • I wasn't there when my mother and brother died. I paid the price. I pay the price everyday, he said. • Smith was so ashamed by this chapter of his life that he kept it secret from MAFS producers. • Nicknamed the Tin Man for his stoic personality, Smith is now hoping to walk a yellow brick road of redemption. • He plans to start visiting community groups aiming to deter at-risk young men from choosing crime. • I did something very very stupid and I paid the price. I paid the ultimate price, Smith said.
