Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre
Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre is run by a charitable trust, most of the aircraft and memorabilia are loan from private individuals. As well as aircraft, there are the smaller items; letters, logbooks, clothing, photographs that help convey the human stories and give the machines their relevance to history. All need to be conserved, documented and made accessible. We aim to foster growth in aviation, by stimulating interest and enjoyment through the museum and the biennial Classic Fighters Airshow. Schools visit regularly to learn about the aviators of the World Wars and the amazing machines that were developed during those years. Education in both history and technology is central to our mission. To achieve our goals, we are greatly helped by the generosity of individuals through donations and bequests.
