Wings Over Wairarapa
WINGS is unlike any other aviation event – the Wairarapa scenery provides a stunning backdrop to an extravaganza of aerial action over three days.
The Vintage Aviator Hood Aerodrome based aircraft collection is without doubt the largest flying collection of flying WWI aircraft in the world. Many of these aircraft will not been seen outside of Hood Aerodrome in Masterton. This collection will feature prominently in the flying programme.
We will also feature civil, military and agricultural aircraft, gyrocopters and helicopters.
As in past shows The Royal New Zealand Air Force will feature with a significant section of each days flying. This will include the T-6C Texan II, C130, A109, NH90, P3 Orion and Boeing 757. The highlight of their show will as always be the display by The Royal New Zealand Air Force Black Falcons aerobatic team.
Static displays include the opportunity to get up close with aircraft, emergency services displays, delicious food and wine and market stalls.
