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?

No but that's a possible interpretation I hadn't thought of. I still
don't understand how you guys won, or maybe it's years of emigration
that's left the current sorry lot behind. Your future is to be an
economic possession of Australia. Even Oz is thinking of buying in.
