The pic of the B-model is of an incident over a decade ago…

Confirmed today is an extra batch of Dutch F-35s on top of 52 jest already on order. Additional number probably to be announced soon.

Could indeed be the case. F-16 ADF has the typical bulge at the base of the tail, but if the case, carefully hidden by the camouflage netting

An intake cover of one F-16s in todays 20u NOS news item shows 84-1378 ... The one with this cover appears to be the Danish one. Some more observations: this one has the F-16A type landing light on the main gear, not the AM light on the front gear. The jet on the left also lacks this light, I think...

Contract was actually signed today at Farnborough Airshow.

Reported as 7714.

Positively id’d at the Ginkelse Heide were 76+01, 05, 07, 09 and 13, plus Cougar S-447

Italian F-35s and Typhoons are or were involved in Red Fag in Alaska, the C-130 is probably supporting that.

Actually a P-8 Poseidon
