F-35B 169787 was noted at NAS Fort Worth, Mar 31, 2021. Other than USMC markings it carried no other. Unsure on the the construction number. Could this be BF-114?

Tally.

These were unconfirmed before so I didn't post them, but it seems that BF-113 and BF-114 are indeed 169786 and 169787. At least the latter is already flying.

Greets,

BF-113 as well.

Yesterday we've seen 169794 (a B-model) flying. We don't have any tie-ups to this point. Will become clear in the future.

Greets,
