I certainly wouldn't have any problem with it. Frankly, I think it'd be a very wise move, otherwise when we do get our pseudo-carriers (and I am assuming we will - not everyone agrees with me), we'll have a serious lack of skills needed to deal with that.

What we are likely to get is really closer to a US Wasp class than a true carrier, so operating off something like that could be pretty close to ideal.

They're still doing a lot better than the last time the Kiwi's were here.

[NZ had 19 fighter aircraft and sent a aquadron to train in war games with Australia. Lost 2 craft and 1 pilot. Strangely the fighter wing was disbanded not long after that.
