On the Dutch MoD-website it is stated that the F-35 is on static display during the open days. :(

Voorlopig staat hij op static. Ze zijn nu aan het kijlen of ze hem ook kunnen laten vliegen, met een F16.
(Wss is dit al geregeld maar is het nog een verrassing)
Flying should always have been something to be decided at a short term. It depends on if the pilot can get enough extra time in the sim to work up a display. That sim though is very busy for the test program.

Flying would be more like up and down the runway straight and level and perhaps an afterburner pass. Nothing more than that. Do not expect a display. They don't even perform a display in the US with nearly a hundred flying. Although in the US this year might be somewhat different.

Answers will be questioned.....

Only 1, read somewhere that the other has special equipment onboard that does not allow the aircraft to fly outside the United States. In that same article F-001 was mentioned as the one that will come.
