I normally look at F16.net and also others do post when a new F35A has flow at DFW. It's been a while since anything has changed so not sure what is going on production wise! https://www.f-16.net/aircraft-database/F-35/serials-and-inventory/airforce/USAF/406/ All USAF F-35A deliveries are on hold u...

Re: 48FW F-35A delivery summary (41 as at 11/08/2023)
Any more deliveries due this year? Going by info from the very informative "Lakenheath back to full strength" thread, & assuming twenty severn aircraft per squadron. LN is still awaiting one more for the 495th & twelve for the 493rd.

ADS-B glitching again
10.47 ADS-B is tracking a F35 over Rostock @ FL270 heading SW. No id just "Default". Which looks ok, It's just the tracking is way off beam, Apparently it took off from LN flew to Nellis then all the way back(over Iceland & Denmark) to it's current position.
