This Australian Air Force C-17 transport plane parked at Whenuapai Air Base has apparently had some unwelcome attention. "It was parked overnight and it appears to have been tagged by some of the local youth," writes Andrew.

"Says a lot for our Air Force security."

Nice one. Poor security at one of few NZ military air bases.

So would a photo of that be considered as a 'special livery'? :p

But in all seriousness, who knows what those people who did this were thinking. No point going off at them.. they'll never learn... hopefully they'll grow up soon. :rolleyes:

If they can do that, to the aircraft, there is no stopping them damaging a flight critical component. Not impressed.

I'd hate to be in charge of base security in this situation!

I wonder if the enzed government will foot the bill for the repairs....

They were probably looking for stray sheep or two around the base...couldnt find any so decided to make their presence/intelligence known with a demonstration of their literary skills.
