The show will be held at Ohakea Air Base on March 31.
RNZAF military aircraft of the past, present and future will also be on show to the public for the first time since 2009 as well as a range of civilian and vintage aircraft, including Spitfires and a Mustang, to mark 75 years of the RNZAF.
“The RNZAF will showcase its new A109 and NH90 helicopters, the upgraded C-130 Hercules and P-3 Orions, and our other military aircraft,” said RNZAF Air Commodore Steve Moore. The Red Checkers will also demonstrate their aerial expertise. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the Royal New Zealand Air Force’s birthday.”
