Cool Skyhawks

I did a few RF111 lone rangers to Ohakea in the 90s working with 75SQN. The lack of support the RNZAF got (is getting) was appalling to behold (the old hangars are probably still raining roofing material).

I was often left wondering whether what the RNZAF did to survive was innovative or stupid (Ground refuelling Skyhawks via the ARP with engines running was one that springs to mind).

No offence meant here, Hei konei ra 75SQN - great bunch to work with.
