170083 is CF-63.

Tally.
Is there anyone who can shed a light on this one? CF-63 was 'confirmed' as 170083 and F-62 being 169941, but that last hasn't been seen anywhere. So how sure is that confirmation?

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

Seen on 2 June at NAS Fort Worth are Danish L-005 and L-006, albeit still without tail markings so the FY allocations can not be confirmed.

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

First seen at NAS Fort Worth on 25 May:

- F-35B, 170048, BF-135?
- F-35A, 20-5623, ???? Would expect those last Turkish batch, but there are only 7 spots for 8 airframes (since 20-5630 was confirmed as A35-049)

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

Hi Bjorn, The photog that posted photos on F-16.net the other day confirmed to me they were 5557/5558/5559. So the only questions remain what are the 947/5555 and 949/5556 delivered last year numbered at now? Tally. Ok, perfect. Like I said, hopefully someone catches 5555/5556 in Israel with their ...

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

Bjorn, Clearly they are looking at historical photographs if they are quoting 19-5555 to 19-5557 as that would be correct for the ones that delivered in September. The info posted by 'Tally' this week is correct so one has to assume that AS-29 and AS-30 has been re-serialled in Israel, or that AS-3...
