The new WW2 wing is really informative. Gives a real balance of the time. Comparisons in casualties. Multiple views. Not limited to allies....

Wasn't sure what to expect as i'd never been to a place like this before. It was well worth the money and it was very very interesting.

On this day in 1944, 111 U.S. B-29 Superfortress bombers raid Tokyo - their target the Nakajima aircraft engine works. Due to overcast skies and bad weather little damage was done and despite the sheer number of bombs dropped less than 50 hit the main tar

Today's view from the office window promises to be very distracting as another day of the South Island Akro Fest kicks off. Flying from now until noon, then from 1pm until 4pm.

The sun is out and it's a great day for the South Island Akro (that's aerobatics) Fest. The Omaka AHC is the perfect viewpoint for some fantastic flying so come out grab a coffee and check it out!

72 years ago today, 24 high-ranking Nazis go on trial in Nuremberg, Germany for atrocities committed during World War Two. Among them was Hermann Goering, leader of the Gestapo and the Luftwaffe. He was condemned to death by hanging but committed suicide
