Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre.

Museum Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre is a premier destination for aviation enthusiasts, showcasing extensive collections from World War I and II. With two main exhibitions—'Knights of the Sky', featuring one of the largest collections of WWI aircraft and memorabilia from Sir Peter Jackson’s private collection, and 'Dangerous Skies', which highlights WWII stories like the Battle of Britain—visitors can explore both static and operational aircraft. The center’s displays, crafted with the help of Wētā Workshop and Wingnut Films, create immersive, theatrical experiences. Personal artifacts like letters and uniforms deepen the connection to aviation history. Educational tours and events, including a classic airshow, enhance the experience. On-site amenities ensure a comfortable visit.
