This section includes a wide selection of classic and Warbird aircraft that will not fly during the show. They will, however, offer an excellent opportunity for attendees to see them up close.
Many aircraft are based here at Omaka but are often only seen from a distance flying overhead. For those aircraft based outside the region, a big part of coming to the show for some of the owners is the adventure of flying to Marlborough Lines Classic Fighters and speaking to members of the public about their incredible machines.
A highlight of Marlborough Lines Classic Fighters 2025 is sure to be the John Smith Collection. At Classic Fighters in 2023, the Mosquito, P-40, and Tiger Moth were outside on the grass, all parked together for you to view. Something we hope to do again!
About Marlborough Lines Classic Fighters Omaka: The airshow is the main fundraising event for the Omaka Aviation Heritage Museum, located in Blenheim, Marlborough NZ.
