Fleet data is not that correct, as currently exactly 100 are in storage at 309th AMARG. (47 in Area 12, 34 in Area 15 and 19 in Area 27).
Those in Area27 are most likely avialable for FMS.

Voor de F-002 is nog geen oplossing gevonden. Deze kist mag de USA niet uit ivm orange wiring en MinDef is niet van plan om vo...
