Summary

[edit]
Description

ZK-CAT (c/n 1418, ex N8581H) was built in 1975 and worked in Mississippi until 1992, when it moved to Arizona. Imported by Brian Stewart in 1996 as a complete but unairworthy aircraft, the G-164A was rebuilt in New Zealand and fitted out to carry passengers. The rebuilt aircraft was certified by the AgCat corporation, and registered in July 1996. Today the bright red aircraft is operated in a tourist role through Volcanic Wonderflites at Rotorua. More info here.

ZK-MEW (c/n 738, ex N6598, VH-JJB) was built in 1970 and worked in Indiana until exported to Australia in 1987 where where it was a banner-tow aircraft. Imported by Phil Maguire of Pionair Adventures in 1991, and modified by Drake Aviation at Christchurch for the passenger role. The implementation of tourist flights was delayed by certification issues, and initially the G-164A was operated by a 'club' until the licencing situation was sorted out. The aircraft operated at Queenstown and then Christchurch, before being leased to DeBretts at Taupo. The aircraft has recently been advertised for sale, and is currently located at Ardmore.
