They uploaded the new pictures 2 days ago. So no historical ones. But anyway. We 'go with the flow' and hopefully someones catches 19-5555/5556 in Israel with their new serials (and possibly also 19-5554 as we still 'miss' one spot there, unless some bird is serialled out-of-sequence).

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

Checked it with the IAF, that's a LM marking mistakes and it's not the first time (AS-03 was 903 and changed to 904) The original Adir AS-30/949 (19-5556) arrived Israel on Sep 26, 2021 and the IAF changed it's marking So it's confirmed AS-31 is 947, AS-32 is 949 and AS-33 is 951 just like your list...

Re: HAF M.346s will be delivery soon to Kalamata
