kbrockman,
"I think the Dutch way of ordering a limited amount of F35's in combination with another, lighter and cheaper, platform might be the way to go for us (maybe something like F35 and Gripen)"
Can you point me at where the Dutch have said something like this?
I think the Dutch, Belgians and Danes would be better buying a larger number of only Gripens.
Do you really care if you can't go bombing downtown on day one?
Thought not!
