WINGS OVER WAIRARAPA’S 10TH BIRTHDAY PARTY!!
Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year the Wings Over Wairarapa brand, owned and managed by the Masterton based New Zealand Sport & Vintage Aviation Society, is now firmly established as a must see biennial event on the Australasian aviation event calendar.
Event manager Liz Pollock said that Wing Over Wairarapa 2009 being held at Hood Aerodrome in Masterton on January 17 and 18 promises to be something very special, deserving of the show’s tenth anniversary. “The first Wings Over Wairarapa show took place in 1999 and since then it has grown significantly to the stage where we are conservatively expecting in excess of 40,000 to attend next years show.” she said. “Trust House Wings Over Wairarapa 2009 will feature displays from aircraft never before seen in the country many with enormous historical significance not only in New Zealand but around the world. Although all the aircraft attending are yet to be announced I can promise you it will be a great birthday party!” she continues.
Wings Over Wairarapa shares its home at Hood aerodrome with some of the finest privately owned collections of WWI and WWII aircraft in the world providing a backdrop for the show that is hard to rival. Over 70 aircraft will be displayed over the two days of the show representing a unique pictorial account of the history of aviation. While celebrating the historical significance of WWI & WWII military aircraft, Trust House Wings Over Wairarapa 09 will also feature displays from other rarely seen vintage aircraft, heart stopping agricultural displays, gliding, commercial & helicopter displays, home builts, microlights, gyrocopters, jet formations & thrilling aerobatics – truly offering something for everyone!
