Warbirds Over Wanaka has released another clip in its ‘Meet the Pilots’ series, in the run up to its international airshow next Easter.

Behind every great aircraft displaying at the world-famous airshow is a team of dedicated people, including some of the world’s best airshow display pilots. 

One of them is Brett Emeny. 

If it flies, Brett wants to fly it. One of the most accomplished pilots on the New Zealand Airshow circuit, Brett is in his happy place at the controls of classic Warbird aircraft.

Based in New Plymouth, Brett owns and operates his own aviation-based agriculture business – Fine Particle Association.
