AF-450 is in the early stages of production.

Yesterday's press release from USN say they hope to repair the P-8 and return it to service due to very little damage occurring. Time will tell if that actually happens.

Is this something new that is asked for? Having done the flights a few times this has never been required in the past. Thanks.

Re: New future transport aircraft.

Now I understand why Swedish Air Force continued the use of C-130 and followed Germany and France. The Swedish Tp84s already are the oldest C-130s in Europe. By 2040 they will nearly be 85 years of age! :shock: Perhaps the type identification was chosen to align the number with their retirement age...

The Rockies are nowhere near McChord though. The mountains at McChord are the Cascade Mountains (includes Mt Rainier).

Agree with Norton as the location.

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

I would think that if AF-302 is the first for Lakenheath then its serial will be xx-5495? Regards Mark Not if the next block of USAF F-35A are AF-280 onwards and start 19-5452 (following on from AF-279 18-5451) as AF-302 would be quite a bit before 5495 .. but as already mentioned we will know very...
