MAKO69 186 Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) I say this a lot, the A-4K "KAHU"hawk was a true wolf in sheeps clothing. Had the radar and war computers of the F-16. A real life M.I.B. noisy cricket. Supersonic life what the New Zealand government does'nt want you to see. I have searched the web for this DVD havn't found it yet, they must have done a good job squashing it.

SayethWhaaaa 245 Posted November 11, 2011 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??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derk 265 Posted November 11, 2011 Politicians again.... New Zealand was actually on the list for F 16's too..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAKO69 186 Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Politicians again.... New Zealand was actually on the list for F 16's too..... 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.
