I didn't believe it when I was told a flightless bird was the symbol of the
NZ airforce.
But then they have flightless fighter planes too!

Nah, you've got it wrong.
The Kiwi is the symbol of New Zealand just like the American Eagle is
the symbol of the USA......


American Eagle - a bird that feeds on carrion and won't fight anything
its own size/weight.

Yikes! That's fightin talk. Next you'll be branded as un-americn!

Actually the moa would be a better symbol for NZ.


Are you saying all hope for the future of NZ is to be lost by all
consuming Maori's?

BTW are there any eagles left, or have you guys shot em all.


Yikes bis!
