Five-year-old Keegan Jordan-Johnson is a boy of few words when asked what he likes about planes.
"I like flying," said Keegan, one of a crowd of people gathering to see the Grumman Avenger and Venom jet at the airport yesterday.
The 150-odd people who showed up were able to get a close look at the planes.
Wanganui Aero Club committee member Leroy Johnston said the Avenger performed an aerial display and the Spitfire flew overhead.
"It was a really good day - the aerial display was amazing."
