Thanks. I think that if the Norwegians have ordered six jets in LOT13 then their FMS serials will be 19-5501 to 19-5506 given that RAAF AU-34 is 19-5507? Obviously that would mean that 5501-5503 as listed below can't be USAF.

5454/5455 reported as FY18 (ready to be proven wrong )
then will be followed by
5456/5503 FY19 48x USAF F-35A
I think you need to read my post again. I didn’t say that the RAAF start with 5501. I said that they start at 5507 and that if the trend continues of Norwegian Jets being allocated FMS numbers before Australia, then they would be 5501-5506 if the Norwegians have ordered six in LOT13!

Aussie F-35A FY19s start with 19-5507 (AU34) not 5501
5507 to 5521 (AU34 to AU48) - 15 LRIP13s
19-5500 to 19-5506 are "unknown" status as of may'21

Yeap. Sorry. Yes, now 5499 is USAF and 5500-5506 (7 Lot13 pieces) are free... They may be allocated for Norway, you're right
An update yes. AX-17 to AX-22 (all LOT12) are actually 18-5439 to 18-5444! They don't clash with any other jets at all. AF-273 is 18-5445, AF-274 is 18-5446 and so on...

18-5445 to -5448: There is a major confusing. They are both Japanese FY18s (AX19 to AX22) and USAF FY18s (AF273 to 276) HL/WA (4FS, 6WPS).
Any update?

Well I would like to know if the numbers in the Scramble database have been ‘assumed’ or whether they are from a credible source?
There are no Norwegians (AM-) in the above list...
Scramble? Can you answer the above question please?
