It may be a good aircraft to fly VFR in New Zealand? Are there ever aircraft of this type in NZ?

The Joe Binka model should still be on avsim, and there is a NZ paint for it as ZK-AVM, of Amphibian Airways, done by Dorian Davis. I have it in my FS9 and it is not bad at all for a 2006 creation. Unfortunately not all the textures work in FSX, and this causes a big hole in the side of the forward fuselage, below the cockpit.
Good to see a new one under way :thumbup:

Fine. Today... after a long abstinence from flying in NZ, I have bought the subscription of Robin“s VFR-scenerys. Now it is time,to find enough interesting aircraft for this...
