    A real shame we no longer have a combat capable airforce. Helen Clark decided to castrate the military. As an island nation an combat ready airforce is a valuable asset.

      Red, perhaps future aggression by China may force action. Just think how many aircraft we could have purchased with the Covid billions! Cheers, Mike

      @@AirflowNZ New Zealand should acquire the Korean FA-50 light fighters first before the air superiority fighters.
      Funding and of course... Strong political will is needed.

      Should bring back the skyhawks as trainers/fighters and acquire the Gripen E maybe

    The reason they stoped using them was not because they were bad jets but because they were too noisy which is a shame

      Cherie, the Strike Squadron was cancelled by the Clarke Labour Government who decided we did not need a proper Air Force! Mike

      Noise had nothing to do with anything.

      No way, if you lived in Bulls, Sanson, Palmy or the surrounding area this is what we grew up hearing 👍

      Jets are noisy,but it only lasts a few seconds.
