B52 at Wings Over Wairarapa 2021 by Peter McDonald.
While the weather gods shone on the Wings over Wairarapa Air Festival being staged in Masterton this weekend, the Covid gods did not.
Last night, following the Government’s announcement regarding a change of Alert levels to New Zealand with the Wairarapa moving to Alert Level 2, organisers of the three-day event made the call to cancel Sunday’s air show. Chair of the Wings Trust Board Bob Francis said he was disappointed to cancel the third and final day and acknowledged many ticket holders will be feeling the same way. However he took heart that two of three fantastic days of the Air Festival had taken place.
