Cool plane... I was lucky to spend some time with 75 Squadron.. thanks for the ride👍🇳🇿
AG, glad that you enjoyed the ride! Mike
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
I am 10, so sad I couldn't see this legendary moment
Correct,what a pathetic person she is.
sad to see them go before i was born but got to sit in a ta-4k skyhawk last sunday amazing aircraft
Jacob, thanks for sharing, Mike
“Clapped out” she said
Meanwhile they are still giving the usaf a headache witg draken at redflag every year
Logan, thanks for your great comment, Mike - AirflowNZ
NEW ZEALAND HAS POWER
Let’s get some F16’s!
Need to get an Air Force again f15 f16s
We sure must! 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.
Nothing wrong with that beautiful sound!
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.
