Questiosn about Lot15 (fy21). It seems the total F-35s to be produced in lot15 are 145 F-35s divided in: 113x F-35A/I, 7x F-35B and 25x F-35C This is what I have so far USAF 49x F-35A (AF-382 - AF-430) AMI 7x F-35A (AL-23 - AL-29) IDF/AF 6x F-35I (AS40-AS45) RNLAF 6x F-35A (AN-35 - AN-40) ROKAF 12x ...

Fleet data is not that correct, as currently exactly 100 are in storage at 309th AMARG. (47 in Area 12, 34 in Area 15 and 19 in Area 27).

De F-001 en F-002 hebben inmiddels hun langste operationele tijd gehad. Verwachting is dat de F-001 in 2024 terugkeert naar NL (Woensdrecht) om als instructiekist te dienen. Voor de F-002 is nog geen oplossing gevonden. Deze kist mag de USA niet uit ivm orange wiring en MinDef is niet van plan om vo...
