About
Warbirds & Wheels in Wānaka, New Zealand was a museum displaying military aircraft and early 20th century classic and vintage automobiles and motorcycles. It opened in 2011 and operated for ten years from premises located at Wānaka Airport on State Highway 6.
The museum was opened in December 2011 under an initiative by the Warbirds Over Wanaka Community Trust and three local businessmen to replace the former New Zealand Fighter Pilots Museum.
After the death of one of the owners and the drop in international tourism as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the museum closed in September 2021.
