Orion bombs Kaipara sandunes

I dont particularly like Americans and a lot of that is from a modern day perspective. You can always pick them in a crowd, they are the ones with the loud voices and an infuriating accent that really grates your brain. ( About as bad as listening to Jimmy Barnes ) .

Funny, I have found them all to be fairly mild-mannered and mostly gosh-darned polite - both here and in the US.

Your decription however would fit an awful lot of Kiwis I've had contact with...

Certainly we should stand for something and show that we will do our bit to contribute to regional security with the Australians. That we are not contributing enough is very evident, while we go about wasting huge sums on treaty settlements etc

I hear there is a fire sale on F35's right now

Yes 100% agree, their govts foreign policy is an absolute disaster but as people they are very friendly and helpful.
I used to deliver foodstuffs to USAFE Lakenheath and Mildenhall when in UK and I'd get offered breakfast or lunch at just about every dropoff spot! Their battered onion rings are to die for...
Funny though the local poms didn't get on well with them in villages and pubs. I guess it must suck when a whole lot of F15 Pilots roll in and start dating all the local hot chicks!

We hope not, for the B's that are going over for the naming ceremony!

Not many people do now days.

I love their motorcycles, V8's etc , Argh that potato sound.
Like a lot of the jappa stuff too.

But I do feel a tad uncomfortable that we seem to be sucking up with the Free trade stuff with countries that are not involved in what we were historically aligned with.

Go the Mahindra, Just waiting to see if they bring out a V-twin

Their effort in the 70's with 'Jeeps' wasn't a fuckin' ravin' success in NZ.

So don't hold you breath sunshine!

Who made their motors???

You have to admit the Russians do a better job at selling the positive press.
As far as everyone is concerned the PAK-FA is the best thing on the planet. Meanwhile the F35 is grounded due to fires, has a HUD that can't update faster than 5 fps when you rotate your head, is 500% over budget and 300% behind time.

As for the Eurofighter. Meh. I am sure it flies well - but so does the Chinese "29/22's" (or whatever we are calling the Frankenstein now).

However on the note of the Orions. Maybe they were training to bomb a certain 777 out of the water?????

Yes, and no. I should have said something like "' On balance Im not struck on many Americans''. Yes indeed we have our own loud people as well.

Hmmmm maybe not the 777 but if some independent explorers or Somalia pirates towed in some damning evidence it could be inconvenient for the West...

Plenty, I nearly got married to one but she came to her senses after four years and left me!
