Hi Stewart,

a really nice F-16! I really like itC[ ] !

What about taking some more pictures and create a feature article of this plane?

Was there really a plan to replace the RNZAF´s A-4 with F-16?

Regards,

Hi Stewart,

Thanks for the 'should have been'. It would be nice to see these flying sorties over Peter Jackson's aerodrome.

The only silver lining is the hope that the world is evolving to the point that New Zealand will no longer need any military...

...Yeah, but I can dream....

Thanks for the comments....Hi Sebastian yes the F16/A was going to replace the A4K'S
however the government in at the time put a stop to the order and alass the a4k's NEVER GOT REPLACED !! and then taken out of service. Also the number on the tail is one from the list that was on order.. it came that close.Here are a few mor photos.
