From Wikipedia:
"In 2001 the Labour Government, citing a benign security environment, cancelled the purchase of 28 Block 15 F-16 Fighting Falcon fighters and disbanded the existing A-4 Skyhawk and Aermacchi MB-339 (Nos 75, 2 and 14) squadrons, demoralizing many defence force personnel in the process [1]. One of the units disbanded included the famous No. 75 Squadron, an ex-New Zealand squadron unit that was in the Royal Air Force and that transferred to the RNZAF due to its meritorious service during World War II. The other disbanded squadrons were No. 2 Squadron flying A-4 Skyhawks and No. 14 Squadron the Aermacchi MB-339CB aircraft."
