- Note from Nighthawk.NZ:
The DCP 2019 states it will be looking at drones to supplement the P-8A's and other surveillance aircraft. NZ EEZ and SAR areas are huge, and drones will help supplement any search as a cheaper option once up and running that a full flight P-8A.
They still have a human element involved with it's operation. They have longer loiter time and you can change pilots mid-flight. It also means, if in the time of conflict and drone is shot down there is no loss of life.

OPINION: I grew up in Christchurch, always dreaming of bigger cities, more people, being where the action is.
I turned 18 a week after the February 2011 earthquake. Having spent early adulthood amongst the rubble, I was fed up with a small, broken town as well as the National government under John Key. It just wasn't my cup of tea.
