The F16 deal was sweet, they were basically giving the damn things to us.
Like it has been said many times, proir to uncle Hellen becoming PM she was portesting down on the docks when the A4's arrived. She wanted to scrap the airforce for years and with National losing that election it just made life easy for her (him)
.
Every country needs some sort of airforce especailly when it has agreements with neighbouring countries (oz) to protect part of there boarders. I was under the impression that Mr Brash publicly supported reinstaing parts of the airforce and honouring all deals to continue upgrading our under financed and over commited defence forces. IT IS YOUR VOTE!!!!!!!!!! (kiwis anyway
)
