Listed are known assets for teh No Fly Zone over Libya being offered by European nations (and Canada).
Belgium: 6x F16, 1 frigate
Canada: 6x F18
Denmark: 4x f16 (+2 on reserve), 1 transport plane. Does require approval from the Foreign Policy Commission, but it's already clear that is just a formality.
France: Sent a FREMM frigate. CdG on alert. Can sail in 72 hours.
Italy: sent aircraft carrier Garibaldi towards Libya, with Harriers. Tornado ECR if necessary.
The Netherlands: offered to participate. Waits for a request of what is needed. My guess is KDC-10 will be asked for before F-16's will be asked.
Norway: offered to participate, assets will depend on what is needed. (Possibilities are C-130, P-3, F-16, Dassault Falcon 20 for electronic warfare)
UK: Typhoons & Tornado's & A2A refueling & surveillance aircraft
