Postponed airshow spectacular back on in March
ROTORUA 26.01.10: Skies over Rotorua will be abuzz
with vintage aircraft manoeuvres and adrenaline rush aerial
performances in March.
Events & Venues Rotorua
has announced the Let’s Go Rotorua Lakefront Air Show is
back on, offering locals another major summer event to mark
on their calendars.
The air show, featuring 15
spectacular displays and and an on-ground carnival at the
Lakefront, was originally scheduled to take place on
December 12 to commemorate the arrival of the city’s first
trans-Tasman flight from Sydney. However the show had to be
postponed due to poor weather.

Rotorua general manager Peter McLeod says he is delighted
that the free family event is back on following the
determined efforts of organisers to reschedule the
show.
“The air show has been highly anticipated
by locals, organisers, pilots and performers alike. There's
been a massive amount of hard work going on behind the
scenes, so we're pleased to be able to offer this fantastic
event to our community so soon after the original
date."
Mr McLeod says there will be a couple of changes to
the original performance programme due to other commitments.
However the line-up being released shortly is just as
entertaining with most of the crowd favourites still
onboard, including a return of the popular historic DC3
offering scenic flights over Rotorua.
He said the
Let's Go Rotorua Lakefront Air Show and carnival is expected
to draw people to Rotorua from around the upper North
Island, giving another welcome boost to the local
economy.
The Let’s Go Rotorua Lakefront Air Show
will be held at the Village Green on Saturday 13 March from
1.30pm to 4.30pm, and is being presented as a free entry
event due to the support of Rotorua District Council, the
Rotorua Trust, The Daily Post, and MediaWorks. An
alternative date of Sunday 14 March has been set aside in
case of bad weather on the
Saturday.
