Omaka Wings & Wheels Day 4th February 2024

Summer is coming, and so is the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre's Wings & Wheels Open Day!

Make sure to mark Sunday, February 4th, 2024, on your calendar for an amazing day of flying and a fantastic display of classic aircraft and cars, including a special guest, the Corsair! Flying alongside Reno racer, Steadfast, the Harvard, the Avro Anson and WW1 aircraft, it's going to be a day not to be missed. The gates open at 9 am, with the flying program kicking off at 10 am.

We have a spectacular lineup of aircraft planned from throughout the ages, both in the air and on the ground. Between flying displays, wander via a magical collection of classic cars. Re-hydrate and refuel at the Omaka Cafe and various guest food outlets. Bring your picnic rugs and deck chairs, and make yourself comfortable because you won't want to leave!

And don't forget to take the opportunity to visit the two remarkable exhibitions at the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre. Entry to both is included in your Omaka Wings & Wheels ticket. For value for money, it doesn't get any better than this!
