Total number or aircraft I have listed now for Lot-14 will be 171, reaching more than a 1000 production aircraft from Lot 1 till 14 (1017).

(Also 24 Super Hornets and 8 F-15EX will be ordered)

Delivery flights 29 July, 2019.
AF-205 as 17-5263/HL of the 388 FW, 34 FS to Hill AFB.
BF-78 as 169614 not sure to where but left with a "Wake" callsign so perhaps for VMFA-211. So Yuma most likely.
