Sky 7 Over New Mexico - An Aerial Video Tour

121,356 square miles.

Six of the world's seven temperate zones.

Desert.. Mesas... Rivers.. Mountains... Forests... and more.

In 2007, Sky 7 flew the skies to capture just a small part of this state's wonder.

This year, Action 7 News anchor and New Mexico native Royale Dá and reporter Matt Grubs continue the aerial tour of New Mexico.

For 2008, they will be accompanied by city leaders from throughout the state, who board Sky 7 and share what makes their communities so special.

In the air and on the ground, Royale Dá and Matt Grubs meet with mayors, council members, and long-time residents to discover the challenges these communities face, and the solutions they've come up with.
