Aviation had its ups and downs:
Levin saw its first aeroplane on October 5, 1920, when an Avro 504K flew overhead on a trip from Petone to Wanganui.
 | A common sight around Levin during World War II – the Airspeed Oxford. A number of plywood dummy aircraft were also parked on the Levin airfield to fool the enemy into thinking our aircraft numbers were greater than in fact they were. |
 | Photograph of souvenir air ticket of flight in Avro-Avian, 1929. Issued to M.C. Dimock, 17-6-29, for 1 pound & 10 shillings. |
 | Piper J3 Cub visiting Levin about early 30s. |
