So it's not just us?



Only 40 F-16s deployable (from De Telegraaf yesterday 29/3)



'Of the 105 combat aircraft that the Netherlands owns, only 40 can be deployed. This is the result of a scarcity of maintenance personnel and a chronic shortage of spare parts'.


We in Australia have similar problems with helicopters, submarines, along with fighters we just cannot get delivered fast enough.
