Educated guess says CF-67?

I don't think
170083 could be CF-062 or CF-063 or CF-064

[Melchior Timmers]

CF-62 should be 169941, so CF-63 is more likely than.

FY2019 LRIP 14 (9x C) should be?:
169798 (CF-54) - 169803 (CF-59)
169939 (CF-60) - 169941 (CF-62)

[Starfighter_F-104G]

FY19 is Lot 13 not 14

FY18 Lot 12 CF-046 / 049 169702/169705
FY18 Lot 12 CF-050 / 053 169788/169791
FY18 Lot 12 CF-054 / 059 169798/169803

FY19 Lot 13 CF-060 / 068

169939 CF-060
169940 CF-061

170083 CF-06?

[Melchior Timmers]

FY 2018 only has 4x C accordinghttps://comptroller.defense.gov/Portals ... eapons.pdf :
"FY 2018 Program: .... Procures a total of 70 aircraft: 46 CTOL for the Air Force, 20 STOVL for the Marine Corps, and 4 CV for the Navy in FY 2018"

The total of FY2018 was changed from 24 (USN & USMC) to 34 in:https://comptroller.defense.gov/Portals ... eapons.pdf

Are those extra 10 the 10 C-models? you referring to?

27-04-2022
It was revealed yesterday that the MoD is in negotiations with the F-35 Joint Project Office to buy another tranche of F-35 jets.
This second batch will consist of 26 aircraft, in addition to the 48 already under contract.

BF-133, 169926, nmks, first flight May 10, 2022.

Was a rather short flight as during the STOVL transition one of the STOVL doors below the fuselage would not close. Somehow the pilot was able to close the hatch and it landed safely after about 15 min or so.

Tally.

CF-64, 170084 was seen yesterday. I assume this was her first flight.

Tally.
