    Not sure about the percentage for NL but I’m proud (for once) of my (and your) government. This will be huge.

      NL is looking into donating 42 F16’s which is literally every F16 they have. To be fair, they won’t really be missed, because they were already phased out due to the new F35 models that are mainly used.

        I’m curious how many they can donate as flying planes, as some have been scavenged for parts for the ones in active service. The Dutch press doesn’t give numbers though.

            Engines are useful too, as are flaps, canopy,… (no clue which parts are missing, but they are grounded for a reason)
