No. I had the photo sent to me. It just shows the tail with 'LN' and the serial as AF18-505.

I have just seen a photo of a Lakenheath F-35 with an out of block serial on it (18-(5)505/LN) . Has anyone got more information on it?

TT

I do not think there are any more FY18's left. And 5505 is a Norwegian AF F-35A (AM-33, FMS 19-5505).

I have seen it as well but might it be photoshopped?

BK-24/23/22 delivered as Ascot 9711/9713 from NAS Fort Worth yesterday, Tue Oct 26, 2021 with an estimated arrival day in the UK of today (Wed, Oct 27, 2021). Support was Ascot 9301 Voyager ZZ334.

Today Adobe 01 drug some (Four I believe) F-35A's to Hickam. That must be some ROKAF Lightnings but not confirmed by me.

First flight of AF-302, 19-5474/LN was noted earlier this week. However from sources it was not scheduled to fly that day and only a F-35C and F-35A (chase) flew. So I am just putting it out here now that she was airborne today as Lightning 11, Oct 29, 2021.

Also on a first flight today was AF-301, 19-5473/LN as Lightning 21.

Noted the following noteworthy F-35's at NAS Fort Worth, November 1, 2021.

F-35C CF-56, 169800 (nmks) presumed first flight returned with an IFE due to nose gear doors not retracting.
F-35C CF-57, 169801 (nmks). Was not her first flight.
F-35A AM-32, (5504. FMS 19-5504) (nmks). This F-35A was completely unmarked. Not even a serial number. First flight.

5 more went up and 3 of those twice. So was a nice busy day for a Monday.

Wondering if that is the flight that left in poor weather with Adobe 01 late October. I will keep my eyes open to see if there are any Aussies or Koreans left. That should clear up what delivered late October.

One Aussie I saw delivered to Eglin (very unusual) with an Aussie callsign.
