I believe CF-04 has yet to make it's first flight. |

There is no CF-4, it wasn't built.

Why to exclude AA-1? LFT&E is part of the SDD, therefore it's 13/13.
CF-04 converted during building to one of the A's (as far as I rmmbr due to budjet cut) |

AA-1 isn't flying any more. If you're talking about F-35 SDD aircraft there are 12 active.
I wouldn't include AA-1 in the list, but if you want to do so tha'ts fine with me. |

Sort of right . CF-4 was cancelled and later CF-5 was added to the SDD fleet! Sorry, the numbering is not my fault. So....we are still waiting for the fourth CV to fly and complete the SDD fleet. It sort of looks like CF-5 may be in LRIP-4, but I would not bet a "Green Yankee Dollar" on it.  |
