Wanna Warbird?
Grand Pacific Tours, the New Zealand Luxury Coach Holiday specialist, is once again

80,000 people expected to make the pilgrimage to the South Island township of
Wanaka. The 2010 Warbirds over Wanaka brochure just released by Grand Pacific Tours
includes two options - an 8 Day South Island Escape departing on the 31st March 2010

2010.

Grandstand Seating; Exclusive access to a Marquee; Food voucher; Souvenir Gold Cap

attractions also feature on both tours, as well as return airfare, airport transfers, meals,
accommodation and much more.
Over 60 aircraft will attend the Warbirds over Wanaka International Airshow 2010. The
flimsy biplanes of World War I, the heroes of World War II, the fighters of Korea and the
awesome jets of Vietnam are all flown in exciting scenarios that recreate history right
before your eyes. Participation by aircraft of the Royal New Zealand Air Force
completes the scene. Feel the heat from huge fireballs and the concussion of explosions
as a pyrotechnics display to rival the best action movie combines with military vehicles
and an array of actors.
Lake Wanaka is located right in the heart of the Southern Lakes and is the gateway to
the Mt. Aspiring National Park. Internationally renowned for its glaciers it is nestled on the
shores of an azure blue lake amongst the mighty peaks of the Southern Alps. The natural
amphitheatre created by these mountains provides a backdrop of stunning scenery for
the Warbirds Over Wanaka Airshow.
