Warbirds over Wanaka: Show goes on, despite crash

  • 01/04/2018

The organisers of Warbirds over Wanaka have launched a full investigation into a crash.

A World War II fighter aircraft clipped a cherry picker on the grass runway while landing on Saturday morning.

General manager Ed Taylor says their main concern was the welfare of the pilot.

He says there will be no further comment from organisers until the investigation is finished.

The Civil Aviation Authority is also helping out.

The show will go on Sunday as planned.
