Is this F-35C part of Lot 13 or Lot 14?
I have lost sight on the Lot versus "construction" numbers of the F-35B and F-35C models. Can somebody give an insight?

Thank you in advance,

Greets,
I saw it on the 20th as well. It flew under a strike callsign so its on its way to be accepted. In other words not a first flight. Its in the 75 Sqn markings. Just FYI-

055 and 056 were delivered to Williamtown on Sep 2, 2022 per my notes. But I did not see the delivery. 056 is in 77 Sqn markings.

I have not seen 057 as of yet but it is on the flight line at NAS Fort Worth as far as I know.

OK, if anyone has pictures of at least 055 and 056, that would be great.

Hi there,
Does anybody know the whereabouts of AF-341, 20-5581/LN. Was seen August 15 making its first flight, together with AF-342, 20-5582/LN. But it has not been delivered to Lakenheath thus far. Only 20-5580/LN and 20-5582/LN have crossed the pond, on September 23.
