South Island Akro Fest 2025
Ashburton, New Zealand
Registration is now open for the NZAC’s 2025 South Island Akro Fest, in Ashburton – hosted by the Mid Canterbury Aero Club.
This year, we are celebrating 40 years of the NZ Aerobatic Club and the 80th Anniversary of the Pitts Special. It is shaping up to be another classic with the categories all super competitive with pilots improving and moving up for a bigger challenge, as others acquire and learn new types in the infamous aerobatic box. We look forward to seeing you in Ashburton later next month. Also a big shout out to all our amazing supporters and volunteers who are returning in 2025!
