WOW 2005
In January 2005 the NZ SVAS hosted Whittaker's Wings Over Wairarapa 2005 Air Show (this link takes you to the official airshow website), at Hood Aerodrome. This is a two-yearly event and our main fund-raiser.
In 2005, some 70 aircraft took part in the flying display, a pageant of aviation history. See our airshow galleries: Philip
Merry's photos and Dave
Cornicks gallery. And take a look at Kiwithrottlejockey's extensive photo galleries (thanks Bruce!)
Philip Banksie has now finished his thoughts on
the Wings over Wairarapa show the Society put on earlier this year. The

Thanks very much for putting on a great show.
