Blue wolf: When was this exercise that saw A4's take out eight aussie Hornets without loss?
I have the greatest respect for the RNZAF A4 Drivers who are/were complete professionals and extracted every ounce of potential capability out of their A4's. However the A4 is not a modern air to air fighter, with no BVR air to air weapons and subsonic performance only. To say that it comprehensively defeated a force of hornets in an exercise is laughable.
