Who knows how true this document released to the media in Netherlands is.. but the underlining message is .. defence acquistions like the joke shown years ago is heading sadly in the direction ......that by 2020 all world air forces will be down to 1 jet because thats all they can afford from the taxpayers...funding due to budget cuts of defence at the same time.

Where does that leave enthusiasts wanting to preserve the future warbirds?
