Papazulu, thankyou for your note, I was seeking more so for assistance and input rather than questioning of my personal A/C choice etc. Specifiying a particular A/C is restrictive, I agree yet it's not mandatory but just a desire to fly one.
As for A/C in Australia available to fly, again opportunities are nil at present. I'm hoping that with the necessary time on type and experience etc that opportunities elsewhere will be made available. Getting the time on this type or any aircraft seems to be the crux. Appreciate the NZ link. Cheers.
