Otherwise we could build a whole new Air Force for free with NH90s, F-35s, modified DC-10s, etc.. :wink: Haha, i agree with you but i have learnt to only get involved in proje...

Re: EHKD Nieuwe offshore operator

Het kan ook zo zijn dat ze naar piloten vragen met puma aantekening om ze makkelijk om te scholen naar ec-175.
