I last saw this officer in a video about the retirement of the RNZAF A-4's. He said he wanted to keep flying fast jets, but didn't want to leave NZ. Hopefully he brought his family with him & resettled well in Aus.
Easty was said to be a group captain by 2021 in the Wings over Illawarra air show, so if he's a flight lieutenant in 2014, it means he was significantly promoted in 7 years! It's like rising from US air force captain to colonel in 7 years. The other thing I thought is that this video could've been made years before 2014 so maybe that's how there's a big rank gap between then and now. He looks much older now anyway compared to the video.
Absolute champion! He knows the RAAF gives him the opportunity to further his experience, whilst also knowing if New Zealand was ever attacked, Australia, and therefor the RAAF would be the right there defending her.
@@MJWVI Yeah, especially with ScoMo in charge. He wouldn't give a shit. You can always trust the Libs to let our national allies down. The Libs/Nats in Australia wouldn't lift a finger to help anyone other than their party donors.
@@Booyaka9000 if that's the case, would we be butting out of a war between the US and China over Taiwan? Would Australia then not be a military target for China? Either way, I hope a war doesn't start.
Thanks NZ for training all those pilots for us. We are glad to have them.
