Following the U.K.'s F-35 rollout last year, the Netherlands—the second non-U.S. country to receive the Joint Strike Fighter—also is seeing its aircraft near.
The Dutch defense ministry released this photo of its first F-35 receiving its F135 engine.

Engine For First Dutch JSF Aircraft Source: Government of the Netherlands Feb 17, 2012
"The first Joint Strike Fighter designated for the Netherlands has had its jet engine installed. The Netherlands has thus far ordered two of these F-35 fighter aircraft as test aircraft.
Personnel of Lockheed Martin installed the Pratt & Whitney engine, which measures 5.5 by almost 1.5 metres. Production is running according to schedule.
Testing
The aircraft, to which the air force will give tail number F-001, was transferred to the last assembly line in the factory in October 2011. Lockheed Martin has scheduled ground tests for late March 2012. That will include testing of the fuel system and the radar equipment. That phase will be followed by the first test flights."

Dutch Engine in illustration (from SLDinfo Series of Slides elsewhere although I have picked the same one in the AvWeek story above purported to be Dutch MoD).

Thanks Spaz, but I already checked out that whole slide show.
Love to be writing the tech-data on that procedure right now!
(Wondering how that crazy R&I trailer works)

| The procedure is already written on the R&I. Not really that hard to do. The trailer works ok, But could be better. |

| All that looks like it was back in 2005 or so. Nothing has changed from the pictures, so we probably still have the latest and greatest trialer out here. |
