#7 I just checked with the official RNZAF website. The nearest thing to a fighter is a Beech King Air. All they fly is choppers, trainers, transports and Orions. |

#1 UPDATE: Crashed it into the sea. I couldn't find anything more on this story at the BBC, but I did find this one, about a man threatening to blow himself up unless PM Helen Clark talked to him. Yesterday were the NZ elections, by the way, in which Clark's party has very narrowly won re-election, according to the Beeb. According to Silent Running, it ain't over 'til it's over. But they may be thinking wishfully. |
