Ashburton Aviation Museum are thrilled to have obtained an ex RNZAF Skyhawk that has been added to their extensive collection. This is a US built jet which are known by many as ‘Scooters’. This large aircraft is about 44 feet long (13.41 metres) and the wingspan is 30 feet (9.14m). At its peak, it is 5 metres high.

The Skyhawk is sure to be yet another attraction to add to the wonderful collection at the Ashburton Aviation Museum.
