North American Harvard - Open Cockpit 2024

Open Cockpit 2024: Saturday 31 August & Sunday 1 September 

Just in time for Father’s Day, we’ve got an open cockpit special that’s perfect for dads and their favourite children. We are opening our two-seat North American Harvard so dad can get the chance to sit in the cockpit and learn all about what made this world-famous trainer so good to fly.

Our T-6 Harvard is a two-seater – so it is the perfect Father’s Day treat for two. And dad will be able to boast he’s got a Harvard education!

During the 20 minute timeslot two enthusiasts can take a seat inside our North American Harvard and hear about the aircraft's features from our knowledable guides. Questions and photographs are encouraged! This experience includes a small souvenir momento to serve as a reminder of this aircraft (and the best Father's day gift ever!).

Please note: Suitable for ages 12 years and over. Ticket holders will need to be confident they can access the aircraft via stairs and step in and out of the narrow cockpit space.

Thank you for your support! Purchasing tickets for events like this are just one way you can help us preserve and share New Zealand's military aviation history.
