Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

First Norwegian flew yesterday. Serial 5384! Means they are in front of the Australian batch. Also means the USAF FY 'window' narrows down from 18-5341 till 18-5383 at the most if you don't take into account any Italians.

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

Yes, very strange sequence going on with the F-35. The first USAF jet of Lot 12 is 18-5341 which was indeed seen flying yesterday. The lot should run to 18-5388, but at the same time also 18-5413 is seen flying?????

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

Are these FY tie-ups confirmed? Would be nice to see a close-up picture of that front wheel door.

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

I think BK-18 is 169606, the first aircraft of LRIP 11 since that order was clear from the start. F-35C 169640 is the last buno of LRIP 11, 169641 is a F/A-18E. Edit: we just don’t know and have to wait..... Indeed. Because the previous list only gives a possible answer to the F-35B BuNo. But not f...

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

As far as my info goes the CAP was not included in the regular LRIP XI production cycle. Than the series would run BF-71 to BF-88 (18 aircraft of the original LRIP 11). Strange if they would add 4 out of 6 CAP aircraft in that series, up to BF-92, right? You're absolutely right. We'll find out in t...

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

Still some confusion. I have this. BF-71/BF-92: 169607 - 169628 BK-18: 169629 BL-03: 169630 (or BK-19)?? CF-36/CF-45: 169631 - 169640 The B-models of USMC are confirmed up to 169618 (already flying). USNavy CF-37 was confirmed as 169632 which had me to assume 169631 till 169640. Still not 100% happy...

Greets,
But which LRIP are those? FY2016 LRIP 10 OCO or FY2016 LRIP 11?
According to my knowledge these are LRIP XI

Hans van Herk
Indeed.
