What do you think about our new planes?
Hi neighbours,
What do you think of NZ's new P-8 Poseidon planes? The defence force are set to buy four new maritime surveillance aircraft, with submarine hunting capability, worth $2.3 billion. The Boeing P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol planes will be delivered by 2023, and will replace the ageing P-3 Orions.
The Royal New Zealand Air Force Squadron No.5 will also shift from Whenuapai to Ohakea as "ageing" Orion aircraft are phased out.
Do you thinks it's a good move? Or should the money have been spent elsewhere? Let us know in the replies!
