Might not sound like much, but we are small, we sent one of our transport aircraft, which was a third of our airforce

Third of our fixed wing transport fleet, but yes.

We've also got the Orions, Poseidons, and our rotary wing stuff.

I know NZ really doesn't have much need of a defence force, but whenever the topic is brought up I remember this Gruen Transfer parody ad...

Great stuff Kiwis! I wish Aus would do more.
