F-014 delivered to RNLAF today at Leeuwarden AB.
Dutch-based F-009/010/011/012 joined today at Volkel AB by F-013 during their pre-IOC out of area exercise Frisian Lightning II
So 6 'local NL' based and 8 at Luke makes (0)14 total fleet this year.

F-014 delivered to RNLAF at Leeuwarden AB on Tue 17 November.
Dutch-based F-009/010/011/012 are 'forward deployed' at Volkel AB for their pre-IOC out of area exercise Frisian Lightning II
So 6 'local NL' based and 8 at Luke makes (0)14 total fleet this year.
Note: F-013 was to be added to the exercise but never showed up at Volkel. F-012 made some appearances in week 1, but not seen in the 2nd/last week. Let's hope it can make it back home this coming Friday![]()

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments
That makes it difficult. 169706 is the subsequent number in the F-35C range. Time will tell.
