flies there now<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cols\">\n<div>\n<p>Whenuapai, on the upper Waitemat&#257; Harbour in west Auckland, is the home of the RNZAF&rsquo;s transport fleet. Construction began in 1937 as part of the same expansion that produced Ohakea, and Wikipedia records that the hangars were built in 1939 for the Wellington bombers New Zealand had ordered. No. 40 Squadron, the air force&rsquo;s transport squadron, was formed here on 1 June 1943 and has been here ever since. From 1945 to 1965 Whenuapai was also Auckland&rsquo;s civil international airport, until the new airport at M&#257;ngere replaced it; NZHistory records that the Beatles were hurried through its crash gates in June 1964, out of sight of 300 waiting fans.<\/p>\n<p>In 1965 Whenuapai was joined administratively with the old flying-boat station at Hobsonville to form RNZAF Base Auckland, and the same year brought the first three C-130H Hercules and No. 5 Squadron&rsquo;s move from Fiji. For almost six decades Hercules and Orions from Whenuapai flew relief, evacuation, search and rescue and Antarctic missions. The base received the first bodies recovered from the Erebus crash in December 1979, launched an Orion to hunt for the yacht linked to the Rainbow Warrior bombing in 1985, and sent Hercules to the Gulf in 1990&ndash;1991.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2023 the base has been in transition. The Orions retired in January 2023 and No. 5 Squadron moved to Ohakea with the P-8A; the C-130H fleet retired on 31 January 2025 after five C-130J-30s arrived in 2024. Whenuapai now holds the C-130Js and the two Boeing 757s of No. 40 Squadron, the Navy&rsquo;s Seasprites flown by No. 6 Squadron and, according to Wikipedia, the space operations unit No. 62 Squadron. The estate is ageing: in November 2025 the Associate Defence Minister, Chris Penk, cited hangar doors that would not open and stopped an operational task, a fault RNZ placed at Base Auckland.<\/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 Auckland (Whenuapai) 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 Auckland (Whenuapai) seen from above\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"satzoom\">Click to enlarge<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"satcap\"><b>2 runways, the longest 2,031 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 Auckland (Whenuapai) 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=174.60129,-36.79856,174.65927,-36.77700\\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=174.60302,-36.80233,174.65754,-36.77323\\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=174.61682,-36.79856,174.64374,-36.77700\\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>It was simply superb &ndash;

As at Ohakea, the bombers never came: they went to Britain in 1939 with their crews. Whenuapai instead became a wartime training and transport base, and on 1 June 1943 No. 40 Transport Squadron was formed there with Douglas C-47s and Lockheed Lodestars.<\/p>\n<p>After the war the air force shared its runway with civil aviation. Wikipedia records that Whenuapai was Auckland&rsquo;s international airport from 1945 to 1965, when the new airport at M&#257;ngere replaced it. The royal tour of 1953&ndash;1954 made a ceremonial stop: the official itinerary lists the presentation of a Colour at RNZAF Station Whenuapai on the morning of 28 December 1953. In June 1964 the Beatles landed at what NZHistory calls Auckland&rsquo;s Whenuapai Airport, where police hurried them through the crash gates away from 300 waiting fans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">02<\/span><span>1965: the Hercules, the Orions and Base Auckland<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>1965 remade the base. The first three C-130H Hercules, bought in 1963 with spares for US$13.5 million, arrived at Whenuapai in April 1965, and by July they were carrying New Zealand troops to Vietnam, the Air Force Museum writes; two more followed in January 1969. On 27 October 1965 NZ7003 made the first flight to Antarctica by an RNZAF aircraft. The same year No. 5 Squadron began moving to Whenuapai from Laucala Bay in Fiji to fly the P-3 Orion, and the station was joined administratively with Hobsonville to form RNZAF Base Auckland.<\/p>\n<p>The Hercules served for 60 years. When the fleet retired on 31 January 2025 RNZ put its total at 155,000 flying hours and 100,000 landings; four aircraft went to Woodbourne and NZ7001 was flown to the Air Force Museum at Wigram. Their successors are five C-130J-30s delivered in 2024. In August 2025 a US Air Force C-5M Super Galaxy landed at Whenuapai with the parts of a C-130J simulator, drawing at least 150 spectators, RNZ reported.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">03<\/span><span>Search, recovery and the Rainbow Warrior<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>Whenuapai&rsquo;s Orions and Hercules were the air force&rsquo;s long arm over the sea and the ice. After Air New Zealand Flight 901 struck Mount Erebus on 28 November 1979, No. 40 Squadron flew to Antarctica between 29 November and 12 December in support of the recovery, according to Wikipedia. NZHistory records that the first flight carrying bodies reached Whenuapai on 6 December 1979; pathology teams examined 114 bodies by the time a second flight arrived on 11 December, and in the end 213 of the 257 victims were identified.<\/p>\n<p>On 10 July 1985 the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior was bombed in Auckland harbour and the photographer Fernando Pereira was killed. On 25 July P-3K Orion NZ4203 of No. 5 Squadron flew from Whenuapai to search for the yacht Ouv&#233;a, which police wanted to question. The Air Force Museum&rsquo;s account says the crew found an empty life raft but never the yacht, which it says was later scuttled after a rendezvous with a French submarine. Two French agents were sentenced in November 1985 to ten years; in 1986 France apologised and paid compensation under an agreement that moved them to Hao Atoll.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">04<\/span><span>A base in transition<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>The last decade has thinned Whenuapai out. The Orions retired in January 2023 and No. 5 Squadron moved to the new P-8A complex at Ohakea, taking some 250 people with it, according to RNZ. A $30 million upgrade of the main runway and taxiways was completed in 2012, Wikipedia says, but much of the rest of the estate is old. In November 2025, announcing $2.5 billion for defence facilities, the Associate Defence Minister, Chris Penk, said hangar doors at one air force base had failed to open, stopping an operational task; RNZ identified the base as Base Auckland.<\/p>\n<p>What stays is the airlift: the C-130J-30s and the two 757s of No. 40 Squadron, which the government plans to replace with two Airbus A321XLRs from 2028, and No. 6 Squadron&rsquo;s Seasprites, which are due to give way to the MH-60R if that purchase is concluded. Wikipedia also places the air force&rsquo;s space operations unit, No. 62 Squadron, at Whenuapai.<\/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 Auckland (Whenuapai), year by year<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tl\">\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1937<\/div>\n<p>Construction of Whenuapai begins as a base for Wellington bombers (NZHistory, Wikipedia).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1943<\/div>\n<p>1 June: No. 40 Transport Squadron is formed at Whenuapai.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1945<\/div>\n<p>Whenuapai becomes Auckland&rsquo;s civil international airport, a role it keeps until 1965 (Wikipedia).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1953<\/div>\n<p>28 December: a Colour is presented at RNZAF Station Whenuapai during the royal tour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1964<\/div>\n<p>June: the Beatles land at Whenuapai for their Auckland concerts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1965<\/div>\n<p>April: the first three C-130H Hercules arrive; Whenuapai and Hobsonville become RNZAF Base Auckland; No. 5 Squadron begins moving in from Fiji.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1979<\/div>\n<p>6 December: the first flight carrying Erebus victims arrives at Whenuapai.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1985<\/div>\n<p>25 July: Orion NZ4203 searches for the yacht Ouv&#233;a after the Rainbow Warrior bombing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1991<\/div>\n<p>12 April: the last No. 40 Squadron Gulf War detachment returns to Whenuapai.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2012<\/div>\n<p>A $30 million upgrade of the main runway and taxiways is completed (Wikipedia).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2023<\/div>\n<p>January: the P-3K2 Orions retire; No. 5 Squadron moves to Ohakea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2024<\/div>\n<p>September&ndash;December: five C-130J-30 Hercules are delivered to No. 40 Squadron.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2025<\/div>\n<p>31 January: the C-130H retires after 60 years; 20 August: a USAF C-5M delivers a C-130J simulator.<\/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\">6 December 1979<\/div>\n<h3>Bringing the Erebus victims home<\/h3>\n<p>After Air New Zealand Flight 901 crashed on Mount Erebus on 28 November 1979, killing all 257 aboard, the remains recovered from the ice were flown to the RNZAF&rsquo;s Auckland base.
