Why NZAF does not use flighter or attack aircraft now?
 
How is air policing managed over New Zealand these days? Surely every now and again the odd airliner fails to check in with air traffic control and needs visual inspecting?
 
Transponders and alternate communications most likely answer. Even when we had the A-4's there was only ever 20 odd in service and less on line within NZ.
