story<\/div>\n<h2>RNZAF Base Ohakea: what it was built for and what flies there now<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cols\">\n<div>\n<p>Ohakea lies on the Manawat&#363; plain near Bulls, about 25 km north-west of Palmerston North, and is the Royal New Zealand Air Force&rsquo;s busiest base. NZHistory dates the start of construction to 1937, when the government began building new stations at Whenuapai and Ohakea, and English Wikipedia gives 1939 for its opening. The base was laid out for 30 Vickers Wellington bombers that never came: when war broke out the aircraft and their crews were offered to Britain and became No. 75 (NZ) Squadron RAF. Its two great reinforced-concrete hangars, each spanning 61 metres, still stand.<\/p>\n<p>During the Second World War Ohakea was the air force&rsquo;s main operational training base for fighter pilots, observers and air gunners. After 1946 it was the home of the strike force: No. 75 Squadron with Mosquitos, Vampires and, from 1970, A-4K Skyhawks, and No. 14 Squadron with Vampires, Strikemasters and Aermacchi MB-339s. The government&rsquo;s decision to scrap the air combat force ended that era. On 13 December 2001 the Governor-General, Dame Silvia Cartwright, attended the laying up of the standards of Nos 2, 14 and 75 Squadrons at Ohakea, and on 30 July 2004 the last RNZAF Skyhawk flight left Ohakea for storage at Woodbourne.<\/p>\n<p>Today Ohakea is the hub of the rebuilt air force. No. 3 Squadron flies NH90 and A109 helicopters from here; No. 14 Squadron was re-raised in 2015 to train pilots on the T-6C Texan II; No. 42 Squadron flies King Air 350s; and No. 5 Squadron&rsquo;s four P-8A Poseidons operate from Te Whare Toroa, a $250 million hangar and operations complex on which work began in December 2020 and which the Ministry of Defence says reached practical completion in December 2024. The base also serves as an alternate for heavy airliners that cannot land at Auckland or Christchurch. It has not been free of controversy: firefighting-foam chemicals (PFAS) found in 2017 contaminated groundwater around the base, and a new $11.9 million rural water supply for about 90 neighbouring properties opened in August 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"sat\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Satellite<\/div>\n<h2>RNZAF Base Ohakea from above<\/h2>\n<div class=\"satfig\" id=\"satfig\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Enlarge the satellite view\">\n<div class=\"satimg\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"RNZAF Base Ohakea seen from above\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"satzoom\">Click to enlarge<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"satcap\"><b>2 runways, the longest 2,445 m.<\/b><span>Imagery: Esri, Maxar, Earthstar Geographics and the GIS user community<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"satlb\" id=\"satlb\"><span class=\"satlbx\">Close<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"satbig\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"RNZAF Base Ohakea seen from above, enlarged\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<style>#mfam .satimg{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=175.35216,-40.21874,175.42340,-40.19348\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=1600,743\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}#mfam .satbig{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=175.35429,-40.22316,175.42127,-40.18906\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=2048,1365\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}@media(max-width:820px){#mfam .satimg{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=175.37124,-40.21874,175.40432,-40.19348\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=760,760\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}}<\/style>\n<div id=\"sat-data\" data-js=\"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\"><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(){var el=document.getElementById(\"sat-data\");var js=decodeURIComponent(escape(atob(el.getAttribute(\"data-js\"))));var sc=document.createElement(\"script\");sc.text=js;document.body.appendChild(sc);})();<\/script><section class=\"pqband\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"pqrow\">\n<figure class=\"pq\">\n<blockquote><p>Your ability to perform faultlessly at a time when emotions are high reflects discipline and integrity that inspire us all.<\/blockquote><figcaption><b>Dame Silvia Cartwright<\/b><span>Governor-General of New Zealand<\/span><span><a href=\"https:\/\/gg.govt.nz\/publications\/closure-air-combat-force\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Speech at the closure of the Air Combat Force, Ohakea, 13 December 2001<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"pq\">\n<blockquote><p>I can confirm early discussions have taken place between New Zealand and Singapore about Ohakea being used as a potential training base for Singapore pilots.<\/blockquote><figcaption><b>Gerry Brownlee<\/b><span>Minister of Defence<\/span><span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rnz.co.nz\/news\/national\/325325\/singapore-considers-training-its-fighter-pilots-in-nz\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">RNZ, 25 February 2017<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"glance\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">At a glance<\/div>\n<h2>RNZAF Base Ohakea in numbers<\/h2>\n<div class=\"specgrid three\">\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>Location &amp;

NZHistory records that construction began in 1937 on new bases at Whenuapai in Auckland and at Ohakea in the Manawat&#363;; Woodbourne followed a year later. English Wikipedia credits the plan to RAF Wing Commander Ralph Cochrane, whose review of New Zealand&rsquo;s air defence the government accepted at the end of 1935.<\/p>\n<p>The station was meant to house a bomber force of 30 Vickers Wellingtons. Steel was scarce, so the designer, Charles Turner, built the two main hangars as monolithic reinforced-concrete structures, 61 metres across and 18 metres high; according to Wikipedia, citing the historian Matthew Wright, they were finished in 1939 at about &#163;76,750 each. The Wellingtons never arrived. When war broke out New Zealand offered the aircraft and their crews to Britain, where they became No. 75 (NZ) Squadron RAF.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Ohakea became the RNZAF&rsquo;s main operational training base for the war, converting pilots to fighters and training observers, navigators and air gunners, while front-line squadrons went to the Pacific.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">02<\/span><span>Strike base: Vampires, Canberras and Skyhawks<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>After the war Ohakea became the home of New Zealand&rsquo;s combat jets. No. 75 Squadron re-formed here in 1946 from No. 2 Squadron and flew Mosquitos, then Vampires from 1951 to 1970, with a Canberra detachment in Singapore from 1958 to 1962. No. 14 Squadron made Ohakea its home from 1959 between tours at Tengah during the Malayan Emergency and the Confrontation with Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>In 1970 the Skyhawks arrived: ten A-4Ks and four two-seat TA-4Ks bought new from the United States. The Air Force Museum notes that NZ6205 reached Auckland aboard USS Okinawa on 17 May 1970 and served most of its life with No. 75 Squadron at Ohakea; it was also the first RNZAF A-4 upgraded under Project Kahu in the late 1980s. No. 14 Squadron, meanwhile, trained fast-jet pilots on Strikemasters and then Aermacchi MB-339s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">03<\/span><span>13 December 2001: the day the combat wing ended<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>In 2001 the government scrapped the RNZAF&rsquo;s air combat force, disbanding both Skyhawk squadrons (Nos 2 and 75) and the MB-339 squadron (No. 14), as NZHistory records. The formal end came at Ohakea on 13 December 2001, when the three squadron standards were laid up in the presence of the Governor-General, Dame Silvia Cartwright. She told the parade that No. 75 Squadron&rsquo;s history could be traced back to the Royal Flying Corps in 1916.<\/p>\n<p>The aircraft lingered. The Skyhawks and trainers were stored, and on 30 July 2004 NZ6205 made the last flight by a Skyhawk in RNZAF service, from Ohakea to Woodbourne. The wisdom of the decision is still argued over in New Zealand; this page records the decision and its dates, not a verdict on it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">04<\/span><span>Rebuilt around the Poseidon<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>Two decades later Ohakea was rebuilt as the centre of the new air force. Work on a $250 million hangar, taxiway and apron complex for the P-8A Poseidon began in December 2020. RNZ, visiting in March 2022, described two hangars 180 metres long, 80 metres wide and 26 metres high, a mission support and operations centre, maintenance facilities and a training wing with a full flight simulator; the roofs were built on the ground and lifted into place. Manawat&#363; District&rsquo;s mayor, Helen Worboys, told RNZ that defence was the district&rsquo;s second-largest industry after primary food production.<\/p>\n<p>The first Poseidon, NZ4801, landed at Ohakea in December 2022 (the Ministry of Defence gives 12 December, RNZ 13 December) and all four had been delivered by July 2023. The Ministry says the Te Whare Toroa facility reached practical completion in December 2024 and that the flight simulator was delivered in April 2025. RNZ reported in November 2025 that Ohakea is to receive further upgrades under the government&rsquo;s $2.5 billion defence estate programme.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"timeline\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Timeline<\/div>\n<h2>RNZAF Base Ohakea, year by year<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tl\">\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1937<\/div>\n<p>Construction begins on new air bases at Whenuapai and Ohakea (NZHistory).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1939<\/div>\n<p>The base opens; its two concrete hangars, built for Wellington bombers, are completed (Wikipedia).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1946<\/div>\n<p>No. 75 Squadron re-forms at Ohakea from No. 2 Squadron.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1951<\/div>\n<p>No. 75 Squadron begins flying Vampires from Ohakea, until 1970.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1959<\/div>\n<p>No. 14 Squadron makes Ohakea its home base (Wikipedia).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1970<\/div>\n<p>The A-4K Skyhawk enters service with No. 75 Squadron.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2001<\/div>\n<p>13 December: the air combat force is disbanded; the standards of Nos 2, 14 and 75 Squadrons are laid up at Ohakea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2002<\/div>\n<p>January: No. 42 Squadron returns to Ohakea from Whenuapai (Wikipedia).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2004<\/div>\n<p>30 July: NZ6205 flies the last RNZAF Skyhawk flight, from Ohakea to Woodbourne.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2015<\/div>\n<p>No. 14 Squadron is re-raised for the T-6C Texan II.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2017<\/div>\n<p>February: Singaporean F-15SGs attend the RNZAF&rsquo;s 80th anniversary; a feasibility study on a Singapore training base at Ohakea is confirmed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2020<\/div>\n<p>December: work begins on the $250 million P-8A hangar complex.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2022<\/div>\n<p>December: the first P-8A Poseidon, NZ4801, arrives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2024<\/div>\n<p>December: the Te Whare Toroa facility reaches practical completion (Ministry of Defence).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"incidents\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Incidents &amp; stories<\/div>\n<h2>What happened here<\/h2>\n<div class=\"inc\">\n<article>\n<div class=\"incd\">13 December 2001<\/div>\n<h3>Laying up the standards<\/h3>\n<p>At a parade at Ohakea the standards of Nos 2, 14 and 75 Squadrons were laid up, marking the end of the air combat force that the government had decided to disband.
