In this episode of the WONZ Show, Dave Homewood chats with four of the key people behind New Zealand’s biggest airshows, Tracy Dixon (Wings Over Wairarapa), Ed Taylor (Warbirds Over Wanaka), Gavin Conroy (Yealands Classic Fighters) and Frank Parker (President of NZ Warbirds Association, and Warbirds On Parade).
We hear a little about the journey each of them went through to get to the position they have within the airshow industry, and we discuss the challenges to airshows in recent years.
With more optimism we look at the upcoming airshows this summer, with Warbirds On Parade on the 4th of December 2022 at Ardmore, Wings Over Wairarapa at Masterton over the 24th to 26th of February 2023, and Classic Fighters at Omaka over Easter weekend, 7th to 9th of April 2023.
