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.

Re: 3 AWACS and 700 jobs to go out at Geilenkirchen
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).frank kramer wrote: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.

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