Narrative:
The aircraft departed hvn airport for a training flight to 6n7 seaplane base. While en route, adverse WX caused the flight to divert to the hpn airport. The aircraft was cleared to land on runway 16. Subsequently, a 180 degree turn back to taxiway H was approved. The aircraft exited the runway and made a left turn on taxiway a. As the aircraft turned onto the perpendicular taxiway, a gust of wind caused the aircraft to be pushed onto its side. Both occupants exited and after a brief period, the aircraft was righted by hand and towed to parking. There were no injuries.
