Warbirds over Wanaka: 15, 16, 17th April 2022 – HTML TEST
Hello all,
Three days of high-octane aviation excitement at Warbirds Over Wanaka International Airshow over Easter weekend (15, 16, 17th April) at Wanaka Airport, New Zealand.
The scenery this show is set in is spectacular! Renowned for its stunning mountains, lakes and wilderness, this natural amphitheatre provides a stunning backdrop for the Warbirds Over Wanaka Airshow.
After being forced to cancel 2020 Warbirds Over Wanaka, organisers are determined to deliver a stunning airshow at Easter 2022. Organisation is well under way and discussions have already been held with various aircraft owners both in New Zealand and overseas with a view to having them on the flightline 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 likes of the RNZAF, RAAF (F-111’s, F-18’s & Hawks etc), USAF (B-52, F-16’s, C-17 Globemaster) and French Air Force.
The Royal New Zealand Air Force has confirmed it will be at Wanaka in force to celebrate its 85th Anniversary. Warbirds Over Wanaka has an enviable record of attracting other air forces such as the RAAF, USAF and French Air Force and they’re expected to be back to help celebrate the RNZAF’s 85th.
Airshow organisers also confirm that a rare German-based Polikarpov 1-16 will be at the Airshow along with the return of Jet Racing which lit up the skies in 2014, with five jets racing metres apart around an aerial racetrack.
In total more than 100 aircraft will be on display, from Spitfires and Mustangs, to the polished Harvard and Yak display teams. All the aerial action will be backed up by stunning pyrotechnics, set against a backdrop of the majestic Southern Alps.
While the aircraft are the main focus of their event, there are a lot of other displays on the ground which have made this show so successful over the past 33 years.
The amazing pyrotechnics, the Warhorse re-enactor groups, the aircraft for sale and other exhibitors will all be back to make 2022 a truly unforgettable experience for everyone.

[above is a guide only, based on twin share, King bed]While every attempt is made to display these aforementioned magnificent aircraft (either static or flying) it is of course subject to confirmation closer to the time and dare I mention the bloody COVID19 drama. As you can imagine there are a number of factors which affect the attendance of specific aircraft. Thanks to Gavin Conroy, Geoff Soper and Andreas Zeitler for images.
