F-35 Lightning II developments

[NJO]

Not an answer why this plane was send to Nellis…

There have been 5 LN coded new F-35A seen at Nellis recently, so it looks like these are now based there. Could be that some of the Nellis TR2 F-35A end up at Lakenheath as a swap.

and yet nobody has provided a list of tail numbers for the LN coded jets at Nellis yet!

It is one United States F-35 Lightning II unit operating in the ongoing Middle East crisis:

It is CVN-72 Lincoln with 12 F-35C from VMFA-314.

Have I the right connexion?

Is 22-5786 a new serial? I thought that AF-449 is 22-5965?

Thanks
