Wings Over Wairarapa is unlike any other aviation event – the Wairarapa scenery provides a stunning backdrop to an extravaganza of aerial action over three days. The hum of the engines can be heard throughout Gladstone, and the atmosphere it creates in the region is palpable.
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 2021 flying programme, as will other civil, military and agricultural aircraft, gyrocopters and helicopters.
As in past shows, the Royal New Zealand Air Force will be on display, with a significant section of each day’s 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.
