14 NATO Countries to share Cargo-planes

Post by Hurricane »

http://www.luchtvaartnieuws.nl/news/def ... =&id=32784

The initiative was made, yesterday; main line is that The Netherlands en at least 13 other NATO-Countries will participate in a Shared -Cargo Plane Program, just like the C-17 program; relieving other Airforces with help when needed by providing cargoplanes when needed.

For know, I'm currious to see what really comes off the drawing boards and if this will work ... time will tell

Adios, H.
Groeten,

As far as I know some parts of this plan already exist: see http://www.euroairgroup.org/act_EAC.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

A part of this is already operational at Eindhoven: the European Airlift Coordination Cell (EACC)
