Warbirds Over WanakaThe brainchild of New Zealand live deer recovery pioneer, Sir Tim Wallis, this event is a major fixture on the international warbirds calendar. Initially conceived as a display day for Sir Tim to play with his collection of World War II aircraft, it has grown into a major biennial institution (held in even numbered years). The mainstays of the display are aircraft from Sir Tim's "Alpine Fighter Collection" based at the New Zealand Fighter Pilots Museum. In addition a large contingent of historic and contemporary aircraft of note from all over New Zealand and the world converge on Wanaka each second Easter for the airshow. Numerous aviation personalities from all over the world attend Warbirds over Wanaka. General Chuck Yeager being the most notable of recent times.
