169702 wasn't the first C of Lot 11 either, that was 169631 (CF-36). It was the first of the additional 4 added to Lot 11.

Greets,
Ok, so there were no FY2017 LRIP 11 Congressional Aid Package B's?
Yes there were. Basic Lot 11 were 22 B's (BF-71 till BF-92 (169607 till 169628)) and then 2 additional aid package (BF-93/94 (169678/169679)).

Greets,

Noted AF-246 (18-5355/AK "355 FS") and BF-101 (169686) Friday, June 19, 2020.
Both flew with a Lightning callsign used during company test flights. I have not seen these prior so could have been first flights.

Tally.

KNFW is closed July 3rd due to the July 4th holiday. Have not heard anything leave but when they do its typically early in the morning. So they could be on the way.
