We can only acknowledge that once the first FY19 jet flies. Hopefully this happens in the coming weeks.

I would think that if AF-302 is the first for Lakenheath then its serial will be xx-5495?

Not if the next block of USAF F-35A are AF-280 onwards and start 19-5452 (following on from AF-279 18-5451) as AF-302 would be quite a bit before 5495 .. but as already mentioned we will know very soon when the first FY 19- appear.
