Today the Dutch government announced that it has reached an agreement with
Germany about the sale of eight P-3C CUP Orions aircraft. Pending an approval from the German parliament (expected in October), the first aircraft will be handed over to the German Navy at NAS Nordholz in November 2005, the last aircraft will be handed over in March 2006. The sales contract includes eight completely modernized P-3C CUP Orion aircraft, a recently modernized P-3C flightdeck simulator, a spare parts package and the training of the first German Navy crews at a total (discount) price of 295 million euro. Although not mentioned in the Dutch MoD's press release, it is believed that ground equipment and special tooling is also included in the deal, as well as the (non-modified) P-3C-II.5 tactical simulator. Portugal is mentioned as a candidate for the purchase of the remaining five Dutch Orions. Regards, Marco P.J.
