EPIC FLIGHT: New Zealand An Aviat A–1C Husky is perfectly suited to New Zealand’s Southern Alps, a rugged mountain chain that stretches the entire length of the country’s South Island (left). American Jack Schulte (above) imported the Wyoming-built Husky to New Zealand. Mount St. Mary towers over the Dingle Burn, a river with a farm strip on the rural South Island (below).
