so far for the 'all Dutch F-35A will be delivered through Leeuwarden for acceptance/checks'

Construction of the first two Belgian F-35s underway in Italy
30 July 2022
The construction of the first two F-35A fighter jets for the Belgian Air Force has begun, with a view to their delivery next year, sources said on Thursday.
Major components of the two aircraft – the central wing and the external wing boxes – are being assembled at the Cameri plant of Italian company Leonardo, an industrial partner in the F-35 programme, the US group Lockheed Martin told the Belga News Agency.
Once complete, these wing components will be transported to Fort Worth, where all Belgian F-35As will be built, a Lockheed Martin spokesperson said, without providing further details.

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments
Indeed, another rumour that turns out not to be true.
If true, it would have made things a lot easier for me, living in the northern part of the Netherlands.
To my knowledge, F-027 has not yet made its first flight. Must have some sort of technical issue I guess.

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments
Thanks! Missed that one apparently.
But still, some issue seems likely since it has not been delivered yet, while F-028 has.

Noted today (not a first flight) was AF-340, 20-5580/LN 48 FW, 495 FS.

So we could have FL-01, F-001 and L-001 (etc) next to each other.
Sorry not right topic
