Increases range and effectiveness in combat.
The K's were only good at low level because of our pilots. As shown in the following photo.
Kiwis do it under the radar
wow that's low - I'd hate to think what would happen if something went wrong at that point....
I've just been reading a bit about the RNZAF on wikipedia - cricky and I thought the RAF had been cut back to the bone - you guys have had it really tough!

Or an upgraded Mohawk....
There's been pics of an upgraded OV-10 out there. It was making the rounds in Europe.
I agree with the A-10. There's SO MANY upgrades that are/were in the pipeline that the Air Farce won't do cause they want to get rid of it so badly. Things like new engines, radios, computers, data links, a better helmet sighting than they have, AIM-9X, full on cockpit redesign, and the ability to use the SDB 1 and 2 (Small Diameter Bomb).
