48FW F-35A delivery summary (41 as at 11/08/2023)

[Starbuck]

If you are saying the 493 jet is20-5616,and saying that the other is the last 495 jet it must be 20-5614 as all the others are marked 493 on the photos l have seen on .F-16 .net

Most likely, I don’t have the list in front of me but got the Reapers tail number from a Reaper.

20-5616 Taxied out today but didn't fly due to lightning - ironic really

Edit 20-5616 flew late afternoon as Slam 02 - 493FS badge

Is it likely to fly?

[slogen51]

Extremely likely I would say

To be honest to a photographer it obviously looks like all the other F-35A

[slogen51]

26/6 20-5618 flew today as Horjn 01

Proof the last retro flight was made up 5616 and 5618 both 493FS

Two due tonight so nice to tidy them up !

[BOLLO]

RETRO 32 with BLUE 81.

5613/5614 .

[slogen51]

Yep both in 493FS markings

Sorry, just wanted to check, do we make it a total of 38 delivered now? There are at least 3 at Dallas that I believe have flown 22-5682/83/84.

[slogen51]

I only have 37 serials read off at Lakenheath

I shall double check or do mean accepted but not actually at Lakenheath?

22-5685 another F-35 for 493fs is now flying, noted on F-16 net

[Starbuck]

20-5685 another F-35 for 493fs is now flying, noted on F-16 net

There is no 20-5685, showing as FY 22

[colt41]

You are right Starbuck its 22 not 20

[Starbuck]

You are right Starbuck its 22 not 20

I've no idea why they jumped from 20 to 22.

I've also slipped on the tail numbers at LN so need to try and bring the list up to date,

[Starfighter_F-104G]

Lot14 FY20
Lot15 FY22

NO FY21 serials because Lot15 has been signed during FY22

[Canberra TT.18]

Lot14 FY20
Lot15 FY22

NO FY21 serials because Lot15 has been signed during FY22

But is it paid with 22 money? My understanding always was that the fy relates to money from the fiscal year (October 1- September 30) the specific aircraft is paid with. And every fiscal year money was budgeted to pay for F-35s, also in 21.
Never knew fy was related to dates of signing of contracts.
