Step into two extraordinary chapters of aviation history with the iconic WWI Knights of the Sky and WWII Dangerous Skies exhibitions at the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre in Blenheim. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be immersed in cinematic displays that bring history to life through dramatic storytelling, remarkable detail, and some of the world’s most impressive aircraft collections.

Begin your journey in Knights of the Sky, where Sir Peter Jackson’s collection of World War I aircraft and artefacts captures the contrast between the harsh realities of trench warfare and the courage and chivalry of the battles fought in the skies above. Continue into Dangerous Skies, where legendary WWII warbirds are showcased in larger-than-life scenes, including a stunning recreation of a Lockheed Hudson crash site hidden deep within a jungle setting. Throughout both exhibitions, visitors can explore authentic aircraft, historical artefacts, and incredibly lifelike figures created by Weta Workshop that recreate defining moments in aviation history.

With immersive displays, world-class craftsmanship, and stories that resonate far beyond the museum walls, this is an unforgettable experience for aviation enthusiasts and first-time visitors alike. It’s a journey through the skies that leaves a lasting impression.
