"Wonderful museum with lots to see and learn about. So many amazing aircraft on display! I loved reading the personal stories of the people in aviation in New Zealand."
"I visited here on the day that should hold an air show, but it was canceled due to the bad weather, which was such a shame. There were so many cool air force stuffs from the gear they carry to actual fighter helicopters and jets with their engine showed. There was also a vintage cars demonstration that day, they are so beautiful and classic with wooden body and wire rims."
