Last night we had members from North Otago Land Search and Rescue come to the hangar for a helicopter familiarisation training session.
We are very lucky to have these volunteers ready to help out in our community!
A big congrats to AJ and Alysha on their wedding day. They picked a location for us to fly them that had very special meaning to their family.

Wow! Great shot of one of our MD520N helicopters by Emma Willetts Fine Art Prints on a recent shoot. Check out her range of stunning local landscape prints for sale.
Great build up to the St Kevin's College formal for this sharp looking crew!
Last week we enjoyed hosting about 30 people from Oamaru’s Cognitive Stimulation Therapy Group (CST) at the hangar for a look around, chat about the variety of work we do each day, and a cuppa. This is a community group run by the amazing Debbie and Susie with their group of awesome volunteers each week. There really are some incredible individuals in our community!
Proudly supporting Network Waitaki with their projects
We had some old wires that needed to be replaced with a new more “reliable” aluminum conductor down on Katiki Beach last month, so the team from Heliventures NZ Ltd. gave us a hand with reconductoring.
While we were at it we also upgraded the feed from a single phase to 3 phase (2 to 3 wires) to provide additional capacity for the future.
Thanks for your help team!

This paddock of oilseed rape Tommy sprayed recently makes for a pretty spectacular backdrop! Powerlines are one of the many hazards our pilots encounter on a daily basis. When our clients tell us about any hazards on their property, our pilots are able to immediately mark these on their mapping system and ensure they avoid or safely negotiate these areas. We appreciate our clients doing their part to keep our team safe! #HeliventuresNZ
All about that accuracy! We are able to perform full and half-boom spraying to enable the treatment of sensitive boundaries. #HeliventuresNZ
The view of the Waitaki River is pretty good from up here! Want to experience it for yourself? 🚁 Find out more about our scenic flights here: heliventuresnz.com/oamaru-scenic-flights
