The problem with this otherwise good idea is that renders the Belgians without a "heavy lifting" helicopter after 1998. So either the Army "borrows" these from the Federal Police or we find something else to take it's place or we end the formation in 1998

when we are on belgian territory, we mostly use our SeaKing for "heavy" lifting (it can transport one to two fully equiped infantry section) or the A109BA UH(L) (wich can transport one section).
When we are in operations, we are also using other nations choppers, often the french Puma.
About the NH90, they will be 4 NFH version that will be delivered in 2009, 4 TTH version (for wich i don't know the delivery date) and 2 SAR version that will be delivered in 2008 to replace the SeaKings.
cheers,
