Hood Aerodrome, Masterton, NZ, 21-23 February 2025 (to be confirmed)
The beautiful Wairarapa provides a stunning backdrop to an extravaganza of aerial action over three days. You will see over 70 aircraft including vintage, military, jets, helicopters, aerobatic displays and much more! In addition to the spectacular flying programme, there are fantastic ground displays and activities for small and big kids alike.
Hood aerodrome was opened in 1931 and was dedicated to a young aviation pioneer, Captain George Hood. The aerodrome is predominantly home to recreational and vintage aircraft activity, but also has flight training, skydiving, aerial topdressing services, aircraft maintenance, parachute and hot air balloon repairs, vintage aircraft airshows and the biennial Wings over Wairarapa Airshow.
Hood Aerodrome is also home to the Vintage Aviator (TVAL) – world leaders in WWI aircraft restoration! This is the first time since WW1 that these aircraft are being produced in a factory setting, so you’re likely to see a vast array of static and flying displays from some amazing WWI aircraft seen like nowhere else!
