Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre - WW1 Aircraft

Since it's opening in December 2006, the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre has been earning a global reputation as being one of the foremost aviation museums in the world. The current 'Knights of The Sky' exhibition features 21 full scale World War 1 aircraft (many of which are airworthy), in an amazing display setting.

The museum is located at Omaka Aerodrome, Blenheim, New Zealand.

My father was involved with this AHC (Aviation Heritage Centre) and ive sat in most of the old cars in the sets and i got to over time see the sets come to life

I've been to several world class museums, Air&Space Museum, etc. Air Museums the world over need to take the example of Omaka and create dioramas with their aircraft! But only with the realism shown by Omaka. I'm sick of lifeless manikins with the barest hint of a correct uniform and no realism at all.

If all the world's Aviation Museums follow Omaka's example, the thrill of their planes will live again. Instead of static displays, they too can have dynamic presentations!

Good on ya!
