Scramble Messageboard

Bjorn, Just to clarify, the Dutch examples are also FY22 and the whole LOT is FY22, not 23. Kind Regards. Lot 15 and 16 are FY22 yes. Lot 17 is (as far as I know) FY23. So you asked about the gap. The gap is lot 17 and so FY23. Those 11 USAF birds were added to Lot 16 and came after the whole shabb...

Anyane bale to confirm ... the gap between 22-5844 and 22-5946 (lot17??) Some guessing here. But....... Last FY22 is 5854 with those 'odd' USAF 22-5946/22/5956 birds. 11 added by Congress to Lot 16 to make up a total of 48. We already know that the Dutch birds from Lot 17 are 23-5940/23-5945. This ...

AM-47, 5827?? Is 5823 as far as I know and first flight already on January 14th.

Greets,

Belgian FL008 was seen flying a couple of days ago too.

Danish L-017 (22-5745 confirmed) seen flying on 12 December.

Greets,

B-model 170566 was seen as well. Don't know which CN, BF-170/171?

Greets,

So in fact you had the 'original' Lot 15 jets amounting to 48 (AF-382/AF-429 - 22-5682/22-5729) and then they started construction on the Lot 16 jets amounting to 11 so far (AF-430/AF-440 - 22-5946/22-5956) and then converted back to the extra Lot 15 jets (modification contract) which started with A...

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.

Greets,

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

Greets,

Follow the contract and remember the FY15 contract and the missing FY16 serials Now: PLANNED contract for Lot 15 & Lot 16 with Lot 17 as option in FY21 Lot 15 & Lot 16 with FY21 (FY22 missing) Lot 17 with FY23 BUT, due to some DELAY, the agreement arrived in FY22 and NOT in FY21 July 19, 20...

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.

Greets,
