Out & About - Wings and wheels a winner with crowds

Staff reporter

Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre roared to life for their Wings & Wheels weekend, as historical squadrons of planes and classic cars shimmered in the Sunday sunshine.

Young and old alike were thrilled seeing the iconic lineup of planes, with the world’s only flying Yak-3 “Steadfast” flying alongside a Harvard, an Avro Anson and more.

For especially eager attendees, joyrides saw keen flyers take to the clear blue skies under ideal flying conditions.

While those slightly less brave flying admirers kept their feet on the ground and eyes in the air for the mesmerising performances and the display of classic cars from similar era’s from around the world.
