Don't think so, there is logic in it. Trying to compile it now.

No curveball - correct serial allocation

Is AF-441 also already confirmed as 22-5778 then?

I see a large gap between 22-5729 (AF-429) and 22-5947 (AF-431)

That was already confirmed months ago .

Greets,

The 'ground' birds are indeed ex-ADF examples most probably serving for ground crew training purposes (the AIFF slices are from the ADF type). Operational birds are ex-Danish examples (search light, no drag chute and podded EWPS system). More to be delivered soon.

Greets,

First flight of Belgian FL004 on May 23rd.

F-35C with BuNo 170539 spotted at NAS Fort Worth on April 11th.

Greets,

Well, I apparantly can't access the picture, so can't check. But you state that the FY 2023 order also has 22 serials? Would be strange, but not entirely impossible since there weren't 2021 serials either.

AF-450 is in the early stages of production.

23-57xx not 22-57xx?

AF-450 will certainly be 2023 yes. Since FY22 probably runs till 22-5776, then the 2023 batch would starts with 23-5777 which would mean AF-450 would be somewhere 23-599X.

Greets,

And if I can read correctly the serial on the front landing gear door says 225737, which would mean there are 48 USAF F-35s going till serial 22-5729 with the Australians there after with 22-5730 till 22-5738, then the Danish with 22-5739 till 22-5742, then the Dutch with 22-5743 till 22-5745, then...

22-5682 (for 493FS/LN) was seen flying on 17 May. Is FY 2021 completely abolished then or did someone made a mistake? The coming weeks will tell.
