Fathers Day Special

Westland Wasp HAS.1

Bring dad along for our Father’s Day weekend special with three incredible helicopter cockpits to visit!

Our Iroquois, Wasp and Sioux helicopters will be open and accessible for visitors wanting to have a closer look.

Our experienced guides will talk you through these magnificent machines which formed the backbone of RNZAF and Navy rotary wing operations for close to five decades.

You’ll get a chance to sit in all three cockpits and learn all about how they worked.
