AN-38 & Volkel eheheh

AN-3 through 8 are either on the flight line or close to being pushed onto the flight line in Fort Worth.

They have clearly put the wrong sticker on it because they aren't building LRIP XV jets yet...

Regarding the Twitter message with AN-38, LRIP XV, Volkel picture:

Perhaps a hidden clue for the upcoming "Prinsjesdag 2018"?? More F-35's ??

Just a thought..

[raameagle]

English please Mark. It is not AN-38 but an incorrect sticker displaying the wrong build and LRIP number.
