I think this is where we are currently at, unless anyone thinks differently?

493rd FS - 19-5493/20-5594/20-5595/20-5596/20-5598/20-5599, plus 20-5613 at Fort Worth

Another update on recent sightings at Fort Worth on Scramble - credit to Tally.

5603, 5613 , 5615 , 5617 all noted as LN.

5603/5615 495 FS
5613/5617 493 FS

[colt41]

5617 is marked up 495fs

[NorvilleRogers]

So 26 delivered to LN and now 8 waiting delivery at Fort Worth. So maybe the next delivery will be very soon. So that makes it 20 to go assuming the final number will be 54?

[colp]

Based on the above info I make the split as 27 for the 495th and 7 for the 493rd.

I've got 24 for 495
The FW and OG birds so call it 26
8 for 493

Did you class 20-5617 as 493rd or 495th as looks like it's been given at different point as both.

20-5616 also noted flying as LN at Fort Worth. So I think 10 at Fort Worth awaiting delivery to Lakenheath soon.

According to scramble website F-35 delivery to LN commence Tuesday. Possible number is 5 . So expect in next few days. Tanker problems though.

[Davem245]

Scramble reports, That the LN F35's departed Fort Worth yesterday for Bangor but diverted to Syracuse NY due to tanker issues.

493rd FS - 19-5493/20-5594/20-5595/20-5596/20-5598/20-5599, plus 20-5613 at Fort Worth

495th FS - 19-5473/19-5474/19-5475/19-5476/19-5484/19-5485/19-5486/19-5495/20-5570/20-5571/20-5572/20-5573/20-5574/20-5580/20-5581/20-5582/20-5583/20-5588/20-5589/20-5590, plus 20-5600/20-5601/20-5602/20-5604 at Fort Worth.

Great list.

Therefore 495FS now has all its jets at Lakenheath but including 5603 that makes 25?

Only 17 more to come if the Reapers are to have 24 aircraft

Surely it will be 24 per squadron with 31 at Lakenheath so 17 to come?
