I wonder if these were four more USMC ex Yuma for Iwakuni and VMFA-121?

I think these departed from Fort Worth, and were thought to be Korean?.

I first noted BK-19 Aug 5th. It was being towed between run stations. And again on Aug 11th as Strike 41. So first flight was between Aug 5 and 11th.

Have not seen BK-20 or 21.

AF-254, 18-5363/HL, 388 FW, 4 FS noted Sept 25, 2020. As it was pretty crappy weather out here in TX all week it's my opinion it flew its first flight once the weather turned on Thursday, Sep 24, 2020.

Seen at NAS Fort Worth JRB, today, Sep 30, 2019 were the following F-35's.

AF-258, USAF marking but no tail number or tail flash. Will be 18-5367 eventually.
AT-11, 18-5417/LF 56 FW, 308 FS.
AT-12, 18-5418/LF 56 FW, 61 FS. First flight.

Only AT-12 had a first flight today. Most likely AT-11 had her first flights on Monday or Tuesday.

Greets,

I wonder when as I left around 5 pm. I know others (VMFA-112 Cowboys) were flying late but past 5 pm is unique for LM.
