Free Entry to Aero Deco.

Hi all,
Due to forecast strengthening winds towards where the planes are travelling home to today; we will have some aircraft departing early. We still have trial flights available through the club-$99 for 20 minutes!

From 11am, the gate charge to come see us has been waived as a result.

Thank you for your continued support!

A reminder to those planning to come and view the warbirds tomorrow. Our usual road access is closed so head further down Watchman Rd and turn left just before ABB.

See you there!

What’s an event without a little curve ball?

For those who’ve joined us before, or those who follow Google Maps, please check out the change in directions to the Napier Aero Club events happening over the Art Deco Festival weekend (HB Aviation Industry Day and Aero Deco). We’re still super easy to find, but maybe don’t rely on those voice prompts… wherever they come from…

See you there.

Is there anything better than open cockpit flying, paired with the snarl of the beautiful Gipsy Major engine?!

For the first time in many years and after many enquiries, NZ Warbirds Association Inc have a stunning piece of RNZAF history- the DH82a Tiger Moth (NZ751) - available for rides. Take a step back in time and experience the humble trainer that was the first aircraft often flown by RNZAF pilots in the Second World War. This is not an opportunity to be missed!

20 min Scenic- $400
20 min Aerobatics -$475

Not fancy, just keepin it real.

Our HB Aviation Industry Day is all about what the industry offers. Meet with aircraft owners, talk to security, figure out what the tower does, chat to the guys (and girls) that fix them, get information about training pathways, climb in an aircraft.

Hoping to demystify, engage and inspire our next generation of aircraft lovers.

Come down to the Napier Aero Club this Friday, 1100-1400, and start on your aviation journey.

Coming up to the end of high school? Fancy having an office up here? Ever wondered how aeroplanes manoeuvre safely around the sky? Who tells pilots when and where to line up for landing and how do the ones taking off know when there’s a gap?

Air traffic control is a job like no other! Come and visit at the HB Aviation industry day and be in to win a tour of the tower and get some of these questions answered!
