3 AWACS and 700 jobs to go out at Geilenkirchen

[frank kramer]

NATO officials at Geilenkirchen today confirmed reports in Dutch press that 3 E-3A's are to go out, together with 700 jobs (600 of them civilian) at the NAEW&CF at Geilenkirchen due to NATO budget cuts. The fleet will thus reduce from 17 to 14 ships.

Almost, as mostly with Telegraaf reports! PAO Geilenkirchen confirms today that there are studies going on possible reductions of positions/airplanes. This doesn't mean these actions will happen (however it does make sense as budgets increase everywhere).

Almost sounds like a (misintrepreted) repeat of this message from 31 May 2013; http://www.l1.nl/nieuws/216686-forse-be ... wacs-basis.

Yeah, de Telegraaf...............sigh
The only Dutch newspaper which was allowed to continue publishing during WW II.
Therefore never took them serious since 1945.....
