With the IDF/AF block known, I think this would make the Italian and Dutch F-35s in the range of 20-5651-20-5663? 8x F-35A RNLAF, 5x F-35A AMI. Anyone able to confirm?

[Starfighter_F-104G]

F-35C CF-06? 170083 uc seen 19-04-2022

170083 is CF-63.

Tally.

Is there anyone who can shed a light on this one? CF-63 was 'confirmed' as 170083 and F-62 being 169941, but that last hasn't been seen anywhere. So how sure is that confirmation?

Greets,

Greets,

Hi Bjorn,

I have asked around and see what that will bring up. I have confirmed CF-63 through CF-68 as 170083/170088.
