Wings & Wheels Open Day - Overview

Sunday 4th, February was a fabulous day at the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre, the first of what we hope will be many such events. Holding low-key flying days has long been our goal, as Omaka has a wealth of heritage aircraft that the public has few opportunities to see.

We are open 7 Days, 9am - 5pm. 79 Aerodrome Rd, Omaka, Blenheim, NZ.
