als Belg heb ik niet veel zegs in deze zaak, maar wat Nederland gaat kopen kan ook hier een invloed hebben op onze F-16 vervangings-programma (verwacht in 2015-20). gezien de nauwe samenwerking tussen de Belgische en Nederlandse strijdkrachten, is de kans groot dat ook België hetzelfde toestel zal a...

fantastic pictures, i am amazed (and yet sad) to see so many L-188 Electra's and DC-3's being stripped.
the Electra's are a real treat, as there arent many of those arround these days.
