One thing I pointed out to many, they are a superb helicopter, exactly what NZ needs ... course biggest thing they appear to be more public orientated in display , this is one thing ..... seldom did I see a Wasp.

Notice I said lol, BTW the Penguin is a handy missile and has some cool attack profiles some F-16 variants can carry them like the MLU. BTW it does operate like a cruise missile.

How about a Superlynx did the Navy ever consider those?
