As good as they look in the sky, they sound great on the ground too, especially the Spit when it overtakes you on the Taxiway!

The Zero was shipped over from California, being only 1 of three Airworthy examples in the world. This is only the 2nd one to have ever flown in NZ skies, the first time being an evaluation flight of one in 1945. Rare as, Bro!

Warbirds Over Wanaka is held every 2nd year over the Easter of the even numbered years. Next is 6-8 Apr 2012.
If you can't wait, Marlborough Airshow is held every 2nd year, on the Easter of the odd years. Next one is 22-24 Apr 2011.
