Top Heavy!!?

Dont you think the RNZAF has enough Senior Officers?

51 Aircraft and 249 Senior Officers!!!! What the ....?

The RNZAF owns:
2 x 757
5 x C130 (40yrs old)
6 x P3 (40yrs old)
15 x Huey (39years old)
5 x Bell 47 (presumably for re-runs of Mash)

Total: 33 Aircraft (You can add the leased Airtrainers & KingAirs for a Grand Total of: 51)

Now, Senior Officers:

1 x Air Vice Marshall
9 x AOCs
18 x Group Captains
67 x Wing Commanders
154 x Squadron Leaders

Am I missing a trick....How can this be?

Thats not an Airforce, thats a cocktail party & warbirds club with a huge amount of paperwork!
