Re: 2021-11-17 - British F-35B From HMS Queen Elizabeth Has Crashed In The Mediterranean Sea - Pilot Reportedly Ejected

Often it's a case of multiple things going wrong... The pilot assumes the engineer removed it, the engineer assumed the pilot removed it, the visibility was bad, they had an insomnia the night before etc etc etc...

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

The numbers in the scramble database are from F-35.net.
So far these have been quite accurate in the past.

Re: Fotograferen van F35's op Leeuwarden

Voorbeeld van enkele zenuwachtige KLU medewerkers die diep van binnen ook weten dat het niet fotograferen van genoemde onderwerpen niet te handhaven is in NL, laat staan daarbuiten. Google op F-35 en je komt al genoeg ‘verboden’ foto’s tegen. Het idee dat ‘de vijand’ de foto’s van je computer haalt....

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

AF-275 is the next in sequence..... Also,the FY 18-54xx is till in doubt. Some mention AX-17/22 are 18-5441/5448 but that obvious is not correct.
Others mention AL-13/14 being 18-5441/18-5442, but that leaves 18-5439/5440 unknown.....
