I was gonna state see previous page but noticed I haven't posted it yet. Yes, indeed they delivered. The following in order of Zesty51/3: 19-5467, 19-5468, 19-5469 (AF-295/297) all destined for the 355 FS.

And Adobe 01 was an AZ ANG tanker that routed to Fairchild AFB, WA. Not sure what else supported from the North West to Eielson.

Tally.

Departing KNFW at 04:54Z on the 15th is 173rd ARS NB ANG KC-135R 59-1495 as BLUE81. This should be 'dragging' the first 4 F-35A for the 495th FS at RAF Lakenheath.

These should meet up with KC-10A 84-0189 currently on the ground (at 06:00Z) at KBGR, which will then 'drag' the F-35As across the Atlantic for an afternoon arrival at EGUL. If all goes to plan!.

BF-123, 169916, unmarked, delivered to most likely Yuma as Strike 93, December 21, 2021. He departed NAS Fort Worth for Biggs AAF so a southern route.
CF-59, 169803, unmarked, delivered to most likely Lemoore (its a guess) as Strike 94, December 21, 2021. He left NAS Fort Worth VFR towards Holloman so not positive where it ended up.

Also First Flight AU-47, A35-047 (FMS 19-5520), December 21, 2021.

FC reports 19-5485 and 19-5486 as also being earmarked for the 495th FS ( the March delivery?), and 19-5492 to 19-5495 as being the next ones after that. It's possible there will be a fourth jet in the March delivery as well as the three listed. Time will tell...

in FC has been used '' I belive''
I believe, in addition to 5484, 5485 and 5486 (second batch), the third batch will be 5492, 5493, 5494, and 5495.

The Firing Order has been amended several times during 2021 due to the known delays affecting the supply chain.
19-5474 was planned to be the first for the 495FS but the delays caused the 5473 to be reassigned to LN (it was planned to go to HL)

AF-313 (LN) was to perform its first flight last Thursday, Jan 7 and ground aboard due to radio issues. Tried again today (Jan 10) but the radio still did not perform. Pilot stepped to AF-315 (19-5487/WA, 6 WPS) for first flight but it ground aboard as well for radar issues.
