A little bird told me F-010 is up for delivery next Friday. Don't shoot me!

As far as i know pilot goes to Italy on friday and will return with the F-010 on 16/12 with 17/12 as a reserve day. Time will tell who is right

Now indeed mention of Monday 16th.

Not an LM pilot, but a KLu pilot.

But wouldn't it be better to have this conversation in the Leeuwarden section instead of this thread? And simply mention its actual delivery date here once the jet has landed at Leeuwarden? That will keep this thread tidy and allow the spotters at Leeuwarden to get a heads-up where they expect it the most.

We might even consider starting a F-35 delivery thread in the Leeuwarden section. Especially since the KLu F-35 will (initially) be delivered to Leeuwarden until mid-2022.
