I made my “debut” at Legends this year and I loved every minute of it. From earlier comments I understand that it may have been a “lesser” show than previous ones, but for me, a Dutchy, it was an outright success.
The commentor did not bother me. In Holland, we have to make do with two total nitwits at the airshows….. Only thing which could improve is a transit bus to the Whittlesford parking station…

Wasnt Milch responsible for frustrating the early development of the Me-109 as well? (But then again, what if the He-100 reached operational status?)

Dutch parliament has just closed debate on the JSF testprogramme and procurement.
In short, the outcome is:
– procurement of both testaircraft should be postponed.
– all direct and indirect investments in the JSF testprogramme will be cancelled.
– Data from evaluations in 2002 and 2008 are now regarded as outdated. New information concerning cost, delays and predicted total production figures are now available and should be studied carefully.
– reopening an evaluation between candidates should be considered.

The secretary of defence, who was forced to resign due to an adultary-scandal last week, was not available to defend the viewpoints of the political party CDA, which is in favour of buying the JSF. This directly resulted in new discussions in parliament, with abovementioned results.

Today Dutch parliament is discussing bailing out of the JSF test program. The PvdA (Labour party) has declared that a bailout is a serious option. Up to now, the PvdA was in favour of the development program and participation and procurement of 85 aircraft. Since new figures has shown that with the budget only 50 aircraft can be bought, the JSF program has hit many opposition.

I’m interested to know what pops up from that archive Mathieu! Is it for you-know-what :D?
