Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

Seen Mar 26, 2021 was 19-5534 without any markings. Also after a long delay ROKAF F-35A's AW-25/28 (20-025/20-028) delivered as Zesty 91/4, March 26, 2021.

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

Bjorn, 19-8723 and 19-8724 are the correct JASDF serials. Regards Mark Japanese 19-5823 and 19-5824 are also already flying. Greets, Does somebody know the LRIP for these two aircraft? Hans van Herk These are Lot 13 because they start with '19' instead of '09' for the Lot 12 aircraft. Lot 12 contai...

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

Hans, that was the original case yes. But we've received confirmation some while ago that the first Danish F-35s are indeed Lot 13 all together. And yes, the year is still a little difficult to read, but the 5530 number should be the 19 cycle. The comment on the infograph can be read in two differen...

Let us wait a couple of weeks for some new info to arrive. In the course of March the last Lot 12 jets should be making their first flights and Lot 13 ai...

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..... Can only mean one thing (I guess). It was reported before that A...

That makes it difficult. 169706 is the subsequent number in the F-35C range. Time will tell.

Tally.
CF-50 is spotted as 169788, so is also part of Lot XIII.
