Hi Eric

There is a report about Vote threatens Dutch JSF, it's a possibility they may back away from the failed program altogether.

A majority of Dutch parliamentarians have voted in favour of leaving the JSF programme, with a 77 to 71 voted on 5th July. The Government is considering its alternatives, a final decision being likely after the 12th September general election. Prior to elections, the Labor party will submit a proposal to the legislature calling for Dutch withdrawal from the project. The Netherlands is an industrial partner in the programme and has already purchased two test aircraft, with a first delivery likely last month ago.
