NickCreation N-6A “Mink”
Amphibious Utility Aircraft
The N-6A Mink is a single-engine amphibious aircraft developed by NickCreation with one clear objective:
to reach places where others cannot.
It is not fast.
It will not exceed 120 knots.
But few aircraft can land where the Mink routinely operates.

Design Philosophy
The N-6A was designed around practicality rather than performance.
Robust, field-tolerant structure
Excellent low-speed handling
Simple systems, easily maintained with basic tools
Automation is deliberately limited.
The aircraft is optimized for VFR operations, placing responsibility and authority firmly in the hands of the pilot.

The Mink Today
Many N-6A airframes remain in service despite their age.
Some operate with limited avionics, non-essential systems inoperative, and purely pilot-managed procedures.
Yet they continue to fly—not because they are modern,
but because they are reliable, adaptable, and trusted.

The N-6A Mink is a civilian aircraft that goes where military aircraft cannot—and does so routinely.
