2024 Airshow

"Congratulations on running a great show.  I am a seasoned airshow attendee and am pleased to say that this is in the top one or two shows I have ever attended.   Thanks for putting it all together - the mix of aircraft was spot on from the F-16 (mind blowing!) to the Dunkirk scenario and even the bush planes.  

I am extremely grateful to the organisers, owners, pilots, ground crews and volunteers that put the show together.  I had such a good time I cannot believe it was legal.  Thanks again, see you next time!"

Warbirds Over Wanaka International Airshow 2024

 

Planning for the Southern Hemisphere’s largest Warbirds Airshow is well underway. Following the disappointment of having to cancel the 2022 event due to COVID, organisers are working on a brilliant lineup for Easter 2024 (March 29th, 30th, 31st). Aircraft owners both in New Zealand and overseas are being contracted with a view to having them display at what will be the 17th edition of this world-renowned event. 


Warbirds Over Wanaka is famous for attracting a wide variety of privately owned Warbird aircraft along with their modern-day counterparts from the RNZAF, RAAF, USAF and French Air Force. While the aircraft are the main focus of our event, there are a lot of other displays on the ground which have made this show so successful over the past 30+ years.

The amazing pyrotechnics, the Warhorse re-enactor groups, the aircraft for sale, air force recruiters and other exhibitors will all be back to make 2024 a truly unforgettable experience for everyone.
