We signed a new agreement with the DOW to build a multiyear contract for the F-35, designed to reinforce our longstanding partnership and save billions in taxpayer dollars.

@WarMonitor3 It shows 90% of people commenting on this have 0 clue what they are talking about, you cannot just handover an F-16 in 1 day and yes these jets will be fully operational and even better equipped than the ones the Dutch,Danish and Norwegians have sent.

@BasOudenhooven @WarMonitor3 If only it was that easy it shows you have 0 clue what you are talking about

@Mark_some_one Thanks! Missed this post 🙂. That makes it 4 out of Italy. Possibly a delivery planned in the coming weeks/month. 💪

Poland is pushing hard for their F-35’s.
3518 is ready to be delivered, 3519 made its first flight on 13th of October and 3520 2 days later.
These are the first Polish Airforce jets being assembled in Cameri, Italy. My assumption is that 3517 is being assembled in Texas. 🇵🇱⚡️

Belgium’s F-35s are proving mission-ready. 🇧🇪 With deployment testing at Florennes now complete, the Belgian Air Force is gearing up for its next milestone: deploying overseas.

De reden waarom België niet kan wachten op de steeds uitgestelde Nederlandse levering.

De levertijd is geen optie.
Het is een noodzaak.

@RomboutLuc Hier ontbreken er toch een paar op de lijst 😄

@kaspergoossens @DefenceGeek De informele nickname veel gebruikt door de piloten van de F-35 zoals de F-16 ‘Viper’ werd genoemd door hun piloten 😁

UPDATE: Coronet Delivery 094 - New F-35s for Europe

Tankers "BLUE01" and "BLUE02" are on approach to the southern UK now with only 5 of the 6 F-35As in tow - I'm told that one of the jets for Finland had the fault yesterday and has not been fixed in time to move today!

@MATA_osint @x_diogo_01 @Azorean_Lion @ArmchairAdml @AUX_OSINT @LatAmMilMVMTs

[Lars @LDD_30]

3 🇧🇪 F-35’s and 2 🇫🇮 F-35’s on their way for delivery. No worries Finland, Belgium had this happen aswel when it took delivery of 3/4 F-35’s last October. 4th one came couple weeks later 😅

@DefenceGeek @jogriezman7 Could it be related to the tankers or the jets themselves?

UPDATE: Coronet Delivery 094 - New F-35s for Europe

Coronet Delivery 094 should be departing Lajes shortly for northern Europe, with 3x F-35A destined for Finland and 3x F-35A destined for Belgium. It looks like the two tankers that flew with them to Lajes earlier this week will be the support for this final leg of their journey before heading to RAF Mildenhall (EGUN):

KC-135R "BLUE01" 58-0069 #AE04F6
KC-135R "BLUE02" 58-0001 #AE0475
F-35A "RETRO61" FL-013 #44????
F-35A "RETRO62" FL-015 #44????
F-35A "RETRO63" FL-016 #44????
F-35A "?" JF-510 #46????
F-35A "?" JF-511 #46????
F-35A "?" JF-512 #46????
