A haka has been created for the RNZAF.
The haka was written by serving members, and was cleared by kaumatua with long standing connections to the Air Force.
Apparently the haka, Ko Te Taua-a-rangi, asks a series of questions and speaks about the cultural relationship that the Air Force have with Rangi, the Maori sky father.
It's planned the Air Force haka will become a familiar feature of the service's gatherings.
