Well, I apparantly can't access the picture, so can't check. But you state that the FY 2023 order also has 22 serials? Would be strange, but not entirely impossible since there weren't 2021 serials either.

AF-450 is in the early stages of production.
23-57xx not 22-57xx?
AF-450 will certainly be 2023 yes. Since FY22 probably runs till 22-5776, then the 2023 batch would starts with 23-5777 which would mean AF-450 would be somewhere 23-599X.

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

22-5682 (for 493FS/LN) was seen flying on 17 May. Is FY 2021 completely abolished then or did someone made a mistake? The coming weeks will tell.
