Re: F-35 Lightning II developments
Some more news. Israeli '933' is confirmed as '5433' meaning 18-5433. So these jets will be 18-5433 till 18-5438. This also means there is a 12 airframe gap between Turkey and Israel (how conveniant). Not confirmed yet, but this most probably means the South Korean jets are 18-5421 till 18-5432.

Have there been any reports of which F-35A was written off at Eglin not long ago? Thanks.

I thought they were for Luke and the 61st FS? Guess they changed their minds!tally wrote:Delivery of F-35's to Eielson, AK today but unfortunately I Was not there to witness. Too hot today. But confirmed to be the ex Turkish jets AT-07 and AT-08. Tanker support was Adobe 01 KC-135R 57-1419 AZ ANG.

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments
The design of Denmark's new fighter aircraft is ready
Another step has been taken towards Denmark receiving the first F-35 fighter aircraft in 2021.

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments
nice to see that not all F-35A's will have low-vis markings.
should make visual identification easier, hope Belgium will do the same.

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments
I'm a bit surprised that, like the Dutch, the Danish air Force use serials not direct related to the Usaf serial.or c/n as they used to do (F-16, F-100 etc).
And I know the c/n is Ax-01 etc. But still in this case an digit is added.
Any one knows the reason?

"the correct number for flight numbers has not yet been determined"
also, USAF buno 'example' so we'll have to wait
Re: F-35 Lightning II developments
On the F-16 they marked USAF serials under the tail flag
See here on this F-16BM ET-022 the USAF serial 87-0022
