A Skyhawk jet is scheduled to arrive at Wanaka Airport on a truck in mid-November.
The mothballed Royal New Zealand Air Force jet aircraft was one of 14 New Zealand received from the United States in 1970.
The Government failed to sell the retired Skyhawk fleet and decided to give several of the planes to museums.
The Warbirds Over Wanaka Airshow Charitable Trust is getting one of the aircraft, NZ6204, from Woodbourne, near Blenheim.
Once assembled, the aircraft will be displayed in the new Warbirds and Wheels attraction, which replaces the disbanded New Zealand Fighter Pilots Museum.
