Arizona’s Boneyard is where former US Air Force planes go to die. Or at least laze around doing bugger all.
Just one, that's all I ask ...
It seems something akin to pathetic that the only aircraft of the Royal New Zealand Air Force that have jet engines these days (and it shames me to say this as an air force brat) 757 passenger transports.
What might be a good idea is for some keen bean NZ defence officials to pull up one night outside the Boneyard with a trailer and try and pop something fast-ish onto it. It’s not like the Yanks would miss anything. Just one. Maybe another for parts.
Is it really too much to ask that a small country in the arse end of nowhere with a giant sea area to patrol has at least one military plane that can fire something? Or at least drop a rock or a beer bottle on an unco-operative person?
Two words: Ruweisat Ridge. You have been warned Aotearoa/New Zealand.
