Could well be that F-038 is not a TR3 jet yet. It is the final aircraft for 313 Sqn, keeping all their jets at the same standard. F-039 and F-040 are rumored to be test aircraft for 323 Sqn at Edwards. I assume they will most likely be the first RNlAF TR3 jets. 312 Sqn will then be the first unit with only TR3 jets, starting with F-041.

Could be. On the other hand: F-038 is the first jet of the new contract (of 9 ordered in 2019). And the first of lot 16. So it would make sense if it is indeed the first Dutch TR-3 aircraft.

LM can always park it in a hangar untill block4 and TR-3 testing is ready, it was never supposed to be delivered in 2023.
I presume they will continue building Dutch F-35's in Cameri and deliver them when they are block4
and TR-3 proof
Danish and Belgium deliveries are halted for the same reason, but aircraft are still coming from the production line

F-038 will be delivered in december to Leeuwarden, maybe this week

FL001 remarkable as this is not in line with a 70+ year old system the Belgium's use.
Paint mistake!?
If correct we have FL001, F-001 and L-001 etc.
