It is cool - I assume these are current roundals (and a few other shapes)?

Really like this, thanks for posting!
Very helpful for a dyschromic(?) I often confuse UK with France(or Paraguay!) and Italy with Iran. If NZ and Oz go to war the quick identification of animal silhouttes will be paramount.

Animal silhouettes perhaps less of an issue as NZ no longer has any combat aircraft, does it?

Would you count the Orions as combat aircraft?

No, I wasn't counting them, nor Super Seasprite ASW helos. Maybe I should have said 'fighters'.

We still have some Skyhawks, going cheap, to a home the US will agree to ;)

OK you want fighters, we got 'em  ;D ;D



Skyhawks are strictly speaking attack aircraft not fighters, according to the US Navy anyway as they are A-4 Skyhawks where A = Attack. An F-4 is of course the Phantom  

If we need jet fighters we just need to politely ask our West Island neighbours to send some F-18's across the Tasman, which may or may not happen, probably depending on how badly the All Blacks beat the Wallibies in the most recent Bledesloe Cup  ;)

Yeah, cool. Thanks for posting.

Must admit, if I saw the Indian one I'd have assumed it was for Ireland.

I see there's Iceland on there. Do they even have an airforce?

No, they borrow other peoples. Costa Rica has a police air force.

Costa Rica is the only country in the world with no army

A quick Google shows an article from 2019 that lists 31 'countries' without a military - however a number of these are territories where their defence is the responsibility of another (or their parent) country.
