About us

Come and discover one of the world’s premier military aviation collections at the Air Force Museum of New Zealand...

Since 1987 it has been our mission is to preserve and present the history of New Zealand Military Aviation for commemoration, inspiration, learning and enjoyment. Our collection items number in the millions – from aircraft, engines and assorted parts to medals, weapons, pin-ups and parachute-silk wedding dresses. At the Air Force Museum you can marvel at our collection of 28 classic aircraft, be inspired by the bravery of present and past servicemen, servicewomen and their families, fly a simulator, experience life in the Air Force and step back in time into a replica 1940’s home. Your journey through the Air Force Museum of New Zealand will be something very special.
