Omaka Classic Fighters Air Show

Monday, May 23rd, 2011

Every second Easter Blenheim plays host to the Classic Fighters Air Show. This is truely an international event. Antria Boutique Lodge was again booked out for this event, one couple on their fourth stay having come from Melbourne for the event. This year we were invited to a Hospitality Tent This was a great spot to enjoy the show. One of the unique features of the show is how close you get to the action. No need for binoclars the action is right there.
At the show you find ground displays showing a slice of life for those envolved in WWW1 and 2 while in the air you have one of the best displays of WWW1 planes you will see anywhere in the world.
If you want to come to Blenheim at this time it pays to organised if you want the pick of accommodation. Antria Boutique Lodge was booked out 9 months before Easter.
