CF-88 was a first flight. The others were not as far as I know. Although CF-84 was a first sight for me though.


Tally.

F-037 was delivered to Volkel this afternoon as 'NAF323'. Does anybody know it's fy/FMS registration?

I thought all remaining Dutch F-35's would be build in Cameri, has this changed?

Maybe some new 308th FS aircraft (TR-3). I know they will convert F-007 (currently under conversion?) to TR-3 as well.

Or perhaps a major sub-assembly which will subsequently be delivered to Cameri for final assembly?

Interesting, Thought we only ordered 52 (37+15) aircraft?

what will happen with F-001 and F-002; too expensive to return to The Netherlands?

Cameri is final assembly line, so parts arrive from all over the world. Nose is LMTAS, eg. See https://sldinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/ ... .27-AM.png

I have read that the F-001 will become instructional airframe at Woensdrecht.
