Absolutely. It's almost silent at Nowra now and the only Skyhawks I know of there is the Scooter sitting in the FAA museum. This was an excellent find Mako. So what's the story about this specific release, it was quashed by the NZ government???

It sure was, all but a handfull took off overseas and there are now ex kiwi fighter pilots flying both Super and Legacy Hornets in Australia as well as Tornados and Typhoons in the the UK

Good find Mako. Such a waist of fine fighter pilots.

I remember reading this in Airpower or Air & Space about 10,11 years ago they were pumped to be getting the F-16s. From what I understand this was a done deal, some of the aircraft were being prepared and pulled out of moth balls, when Madam Clark pulled the rug hard out from the RNZAF's feet.
