Wings Over Wairarapa 2023

It would be remiss of us not to cover a little of the action from the Wings Over Wairarapa airshow that was scheduled to be held over 24 - 27 November.

The Wings Over Wairarapa organisers must be wondering when they will get a break as the airshow, already delayed because of the aftermath of Cyclone Gabrielle in February, was again affected by the weather with the Saturday airshow being cancelled and only the Sunday airshow going ahead.  Unfortunately the weather on the day prevented any of The Vintage Aviator aircraft flying (I assume).

The headline act was of course the Corsair in RNZAF colours that flew in from Omaka on the Sunday morning, but there were other aircraft being displayed, some of which were as follows:

NZ Aero displayed their new XL 750-II Super Pac/XSTOL ZK-EPO.

John Bargh (I assume) displayed the Air Tractor AT 402B ZK-PCC2.  It looks like it was pretty chilly!

And Farmers Air's Beaver ZK-BVA2 also flew a spirited display.

There were of course many other aircraft that flew displays so well done to all the pilots and crew who made it to Masterton.  I guess one upside is that we won't have to wait two years for the next Wings Over Wairarapa.
