Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

First picture of AL-06 seen. This marks the final LRIP VII delivery. The airframe is coded as 32-13. First five were coded 32-01 till 32-05. Anyone any idea why they jump in the sequence?

Yes, but I mean the entire number :-).

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

If someone knows the FY allocation of either the Israeli 901 or the Japanse 69-8701, that would be great.

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

Total sum of US F-35 for the US is now 68 for LRIP-10 (47 A, 15 B, 6 C), plus 39 aircraft for foreign customers makes 107 (!) I only get to 105 for the LRIP X order, being the 68 for US but only 37 for foreign customers (Norway: 6, Italy: 1, Australia: 8, Israel: 10, Japan: 4, Turkey: 2, South Kore...

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

OK, so BF-50 till BF-55 will be 169292 till 169297 then. Than it's just a wait untill the first C-model of LRIP VIII flies to catch that serial as well.

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

F-35B with serial 169292 is seen flying at NAS Fort Worth. This is obviously one of the LRIP VIII airframes (BF-50/BF-55). Anyone has a tie-up?

Re: F-35 Lightning II JSF developments

The treaty was indeed abandoned in 1990. But still the Finish Hornets were - as far as my knowledge goes - not equipped with the software to perform attack missions. So they were indeed pure air defence assets back than. In the mid 2010's these Hornets all received upgrades including the necessary s...

Re: F-35 Lightning II JSF developments

Up to now, Bureau Numbers of F-35s always had the B-version first and the C-version second. We have seen F-35B 169164 and F-35C 169160 flying now which seems to suggest a reverse numbering. Since the B-models numbers 6 airframes and the C-model numbers 4 airframes in Lot VII, the sequence could be a...

Hi, I'm also very interested in that log. Is there a possibility you can share it with us?

Re: Kleine Brogel (EBBL) - 2011 MIL

If the sequence of numbers is respected (which has been in the past Jordanian sales) and the info Hurricane provided is correct, than the serial tie-up would be as follows (this evidently is not confirmed by any means): FA-100 153 FA-108 154 FA-111 155 FA-115 156 FA-120 157 FA-125 158 FB-05 159 FB-0...

Re: Hurghada, Egypt

If anyone has more pictures on Egyptian fighters (specifically F-16s), please do let me know. These are quite hard to get to.
