Dutch defence cutbacks: F16s reduced, GULF 4 + ship sold,etc

[Flyboy]

Excerpt from Dagblad van het Noorden:

Now Leeuwarden remains a main operating base ', similar to the other air bases. This allows the existing F-16s fly more hours continue until they are replaced by the JSF and unmanned aircraft. Furthermore Leeuwarden also get a flight simulator for the Chinook transport helicopter of the Air Force.

It makes sense to base UAV's like the MQ-9 close to the sea instead of the densely populated Brabant.
However The CH-47 sim so far away from the squadron remains a questionmark...
