A great crowd has turned out for the Classics of the Sky Tauranga City Airshow which is on at the Tauranga City Airport today.

Returning for it's second year, the show features a ton of amazing planes such as the Royal New Zealand Air Force Strikemaster jet trainers, plus a number of super motorbikes, dragsters and hot rods.

And there's still plenty of time to get in on the action with the airshow scheduled to wrap up at 8pm.

'The 2016 afternoon and evening event was so successful we opted to hold the show annually, alternating headline aircraft and an associated event,” say the Tauranga City Airshow organisers.

If you're planning on heading down, why not take a picnic, or if you can't be bothered, you can purchase food and drink on site.

Classic Flyers will also have a bar available to purchase alcohol but eventgoers are not permitted to bring their own alcohol on site.

'There is plenty of free parking available on site, with public access in Seawind Lane via the airport end of Jean Batten Drive.”

The Classics of the Sky Tauranga City Airshow is taking place at Tauranga Airport on Jean Batten Drive in Mount Maunganui until 8pm.

Tickets cost $25 for adults and $15 for children, with discounts available for TECT cardholders when purchased from the Classic Flyers gift shop. Tickets also available online at: www.eventfinda.co.nz.
