Re Grammar changes: There are two names for that plane. "Atlantic" is the original version, build in the 1960s, while "Atlantique" is the later french only version. So german planes should be referred to as "Atlantic". Also I wrote "the very same P-3s", not "the very same P-3" because these planes are the same aircraft. In 2004, the netherlands government suddenly decided to totally phase out anti-submarine patrol aircraft. Maritime patrolling was to be undertaken by unarmed aircraft only. The Netherlands had allready ordered and paid for an upgrade of these aircraft in the US. So the 8 of the 11 Orions plus the upgrade were sold to Germany at a very cheap price. These are the very same airframes the netherlands bought to replace their Atlantics in the early 1980s. The Netherlands retain three Orions without ASW equipment for patrol duties in the Carribean. --JCRitter 13:17, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
