The more I learn about this aircraft the more I like it. One of the cheaper options to buy as well as to fly that can and does  keep up with the big boys.

The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) continues to produce soldiers, sailors and airmen and women of the highest calibre globally. This hasn't changed throughout the years. We must keep the focus on the positives as the foundation on how to provide solutions for any veteran issues we have.

In order to do that, we must understand the future focus of the NZDF and celebrate our country, our defence force and its people, because we continue to punch above our weight globally, in and out of the uniform.
