From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wigram Aerodrome (IATA: N/A, ICAO: NZWG) is a former Royal New Zealand Air Force base located in the Christchurch suburb of Wigram. Originally home to the RNZAF Central Flying School (CFS), it was decommissioned in 1995 after the CFS' relocation to RNZAF Ohakea two years earlier.
The Wigram Aerodrome maintains it's aviation character, with several aviation businesses using its facilities. These include Pionair Private Aircharter, Christchurch Parachute School and Christchurch Flying School. Three Air Training Corps units, and a Cadet Corps unit also occupy a building within the aerodrome.
Christchurch's Air Force Museum is located at the northern side of the aerodrome. With a large collection of aircraft and interactive displays, it is one of only two such museums in New Zealand.
