Oh dear! That was like throwing crackers in the chook house!
Now folks, I have worked on the fringe of the aviation industry since 1964, in some of the very places mentioned here including Ashburton and Woodbourne but also more recently in Baghdad, Kabul and Pyongyang so I am not un-excited by the technology but I am still at a loss to explain just what good Skyhawks were ever to NZ. Except for air show of course!
