Warbirds Over Wanaka 2026

Great to have NZ Drones exhibiting at one of New Zealand’s most iconic aviation events during the three days.

Warbirds Over Wanaka was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our capability from CAA-approved drone training through to precision drone spraying, aerial inspections, surveying, and surveillance operations.

Most importantly, it gave us the chance to connect with a wide range of people from across the aviation, agricultural, and commercial sectors, while also building a number of valuable new business connections over the three days.

Thank you to everyone who visited our stand, took the time to chat, and showed interest in what we do. We appreciate the conversations, the support, and the connections made throughout the event.
