Construction of the first two Belgian F-35s underway in Italy
30 July 2022

The construction of the first two F-35A fighter jets for the Belgian Air Force has begun, with a view to their delivery next year, sources said on Thursday.
Major components of the two aircraft – the central wing and the external wing boxes – are being assembled at the Cameri plant of Italian company Leonardo, an industrial partner in the F-35 programme, the US group Lockheed Martin told the Belga News Agency.

Once complete, these wing components will be transported to Fort Worth, where all Belgian F-35As will be built, a Lockheed Martin spokesperson said, without providing further details.

Indeed, another rumour that turns out not to be true.
If true, it would have made things a lot easier for me, living in the northern part of the Netherlands.

To my knowledge, F-027 has not yet made its first flight. Must have some sort of technical issue I guess.

Thanks! Missed that one apparently.
But still, some issue seems likely since it has not been delivered yet, while F-028 has.

Logical

So we could have FL-01, F-001 and L-001 (etc) next to each other. :D

Sorry not right topic
