Classic Flyers Museum, Aviation museum in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand.
The Classic Flyers Museum contains three connected hangars displaying over 5,000 artifacts related to aviation history, including vintage aircraft and engines.
The museum opened in 2005 after local aviation enthusiasts decided to construct a new facility instead of renovating a World War II-era hangar at Tauranga Airfield.
The facility preserves New Zealand's aviation heritage through its collection of aircraft, including models like Aermacchi MB-339, Boeing Stearman, and Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina.
The museum operates daily from 9 AM to 3 PM, with admission fees of $15 for adults and $8 for children between 5 and 15 years old.
Visitors can experience adventure flights in real aircraft and observe antique engines during operational displays throughout their museum tour.
