Admins if it's correct you better update the F-35 DB

Don't know if this bird is an LRIP XI jet or is this one of the jets that has been added by Congress in November 2016? We will see. The Congress add was for 3 A-models. So if we have 3 FY 17 numbers now and they jump to FY 18 afterwards we will know.

Waiting for that to update the DB.

Greets,

Greets,

OK, and what do you think about the LRIP-12/13/14 block buy of 255 A/C, are they gonna be 18-xxxx and/or 19-xxxx?
LM got the initial funding but no contract yet (probably in 2019).
