Warbirds over Wanaka 2024

[Brad Cancian]

Hi folks - My wife and I are planning a trip over to New Zealand in early 2024; never having been there, from what I can see its a beautiful country with much to see and do.

Well it looks like my good lady wife has given me permission to head on over to (and drag her around) the Warbirds over Wanaka airshow during our trip - this is the largest warbirds air show in the southern hemisphere, so I am told, so it's a real bucket list item! The event runs every two years, however, the last one was run in 2018 due to cancellations of the 2020 and 2022 shows as a result of COVID. Previous events have seen a magnificent line up of aircraft, including a swag of WW1 era aeroplanes. To say I am excited is an understatement

The event itself is not until the end of March in 2024, and tickets don't go on sale until the end of June, but it should be a great event.

Is anyone else here on our fine forum thinking of attending the 2024 show?

Cheers!

Definitely thinking about it Brad!

As by then I'll be in the right island - and surrounded by friends who typically fly to and at the event - there's a pretty high better chance of me being there, so hopefully we'll be able to catch up!
