TUG 2008 Warbirds Experience
On the morning of Saturday 22nd March, delegates will travel by luxury coach direct from the Rydges Hotel, Queenstown over the spectacular Crown Range through to the airshow aerodrome at the ski resort town of Wanaka. Registration for the event includes entry to the airshow and all food and beverages for the day. TUG delegates will be provided with their own fenced grandstand with comfortable seating. The TUG grandstand is situated with uninterrupted views of the action – approximately twenty metres from the runway! Food and beverages will be available from the adjacent private marquee.
The airshow starts at approximately 10am and runs through until about 5pm and the action is non-stop – be sure to bring a camera and plenty of memory cards! The airshow includes mock ground and air battles featuring authentic historic military aircraft and vehicles in addition to many ‘grounded’ exhibits, stalls and display booths. It is advised to bring very warm clothing as the weather in this alpine region can change quickly. At the end of the show delegates will travel by luxury coach back to the warmth of the Rydges Hotel in Queenstown.
