Mark,
very good point.

The dutch have 500-700 at RoundTexel annually
The French have 300-400 at the various Long distance 'Raides'(France)annually

I expect these guys have lessons for us both! The French easily have the best strength and depth in their cat fleets, especially in Tornado, the Germans are very strong too.
