Chipmunk 65 to display at New Zealand’s #1 air show
2 October 2025: What’s an air show without a Chipmunk? We’re thrilled to announce that Chipmunk 65 will be displaying at Warbirds over Wānaka. This show is hands-down the number one aviation event in New Zealand, so we’re honoured to be taking part alongside some pretty incredible acts.
Check the Warbirds over Wānaka website for the schedule once it’s finalised, but you can expect to see a low level solo aerobatics display on the Friday, then formation flypasts on Saturday and Sunday.
PLUS we’ll also be offering scenic and aerobatic adventure rides as display timings permit.
Flights operated by Warbirds Limited.
‘Poor Man’s Spitfire’ documentary premiere confirmed
30 September 2025: If you’re heading to Warbirds over Wānaka then here’s a must-do one evening. We’ll be premiering our documentary ‘Poor Man’s Spitfire’ at Wānaka’s Cinema Paradiso on the evening of Thursday 2 April. Expect a Q&A with Vaughn then sit back and enjoy the story of WZ865’s history, restoration and return to flight.
Formation adventure rides are live!
1 September 2025: Double your fun! Proflight NZ is pleased to announce that we can now offer Chipmunk formation rides from Ardmore. Formation flying is one of the most enjoyable things you can do in a Chipmunk, and the view of another identical aircraft flying just metres away is hard to beat!
Grab a mate, your partner, your son or daughter and book yourself an absolutely unforgettable experience for two.
Formation flights in Warbirds are a unique experience. Your flight will include a pre flight briefing with both pilots, then a formation start, taxi and departure to the stunning Auckland coastline.
