BK-1 had already rolled out of the factory .
it's a LRIP-3 jet, so all the LRIP-2 jets had already rolled out of the factory ?
how about other LRIP-3 jets.

No more than 33,how do I know?
So far P&W delivered 33 engines, 22 birds flying by now.
So the other 11 are 5 of LRIP-2 and 6 of LRIP-3

I guess not all the 11 rolled out already, but on the way..

May be off a one-sy or two-sy but something like this --

AA-1
AF-1 thru 14
BF-1 thru 13
CF-1 thru 3
BK-1

I think you may be heavy in the -B models. BF-6 flew in late October, and I can't find any references of production deliveries for subsequent aircraft. Also, I can't find any references for AF-14 flying as of yet.

OK, I see what you mean, tnx for correcting
In that case, they got up to 46 airplanes:
1 AA-1
12 SDD's (4 A, 5 B, 3 C)
33 Production's (2 A from LRIP-1, 6 A and 6 B from LRIP-2 and 19 from LRIP-3)

Hope it's clear now..

------------------------

the engines are more than jets.
eg: there're 12 jets in LRIP-2, but 16 engines.

Nope. The question was how many had rolled out. The 'B' total is accurate.

Gotta have engines to do engine maturity testing.

Gotta have engines to swap out if immature engines break...

OK, fair enough. I'm not sure if "rolled out" has a precise definition, but a better question is how many have been delivered to the customer.
