i get why they would want to upgrade helicopters, but why would anyone want to embarrass defence planes?!
It’s cute when they blush
When they ~~activate afterburners~~ blush I blush.
I assure you, none of our planes are cool enough to have afterburners.
We’re going to embarrass the Australian defence planes.
Just fly those new helicopters right to Canberra.
