Postponed airshow spectacular back on in March

ROTORUA 26.01.10: Skies over Rotorua will be abuzz with vintage aircraft manoeuvres and adrenaline rush aerial performances in March. 
 
Events & Venues Rotorua has announced the Let’s Go Rotorua Lakefront Air Show is back on, offering locals another major summer event to mark on their calendars.
 
The air show, featuring 15 spectacular displays and and an on-ground carnival at the Lakefront, was originally scheduled to take place on December 12 to commemorate the arrival of the city’s first trans-Tasman flight from Sydney. However the show had to be postponed due to poor weather.
 
Events & Venues Rotorua general manager Peter McLeod says he is delighted that the free family event is back on following the determined efforts of organisers to reschedule the show.
 
“The air show has been highly anticipated by locals, organisers, pilots and performers alike. There's been a massive amount of hard work going on behind the scenes, so we're pleased to be able to offer this fantastic event to our community so soon after the original date."

Mr McLeod says there will be a couple of changes to the original performance programme due to other commitments. However the line-up being released shortly is just as entertaining with most of the crowd favourites still onboard, including a return of the popular historic DC3 offering scenic flights over Rotorua.
 
He said the Let's Go Rotorua Lakefront Air Show and carnival is expected to draw people to Rotorua from around the upper North Island, giving another welcome boost to the local economy.
 
The Let’s Go Rotorua Lakefront Air Show will be held at the Village Green on Saturday 13 March from 1.30pm to 4.30pm, and  is being presented as a free entry event due to the support of Rotorua District Council, the Rotorua Trust, The Daily Post, and MediaWorks.  An alternative date of Sunday 14 March has been set aside in case of bad weather on the Saturday.
