Omaka Aerodrome is a private airfield located southwest of Blenheim, New Zealand. It owned by the Marlborough Aero Club and used solely by general aviation.
It houses the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre, established in 2006, which displays many vintage aircraft.
Since 2001, the Classic Fighters biennial airshow has taken place at Omaka. It is held on the Easter weekend of odd-numbered years. Each show is based on a different theme and typically includes mock air battles and other displays.
On 21 October 2023, a gyrocopter crashed in the Omaka Airfield, killing its only occupant.[1]
