This Cameri FACO built F-35A (FMS serial 22-5838) was delivered to the Koninklijke Luchtmacht on 31 Jul'24. It was first assigned to 312sqn, but late 2024 moved to Leeuwarden with 322sqn. As the aircraft is unmarked, it us unclear to what Squadron it is assigned when the picture was made. Pictured from the rear, you have a clear view on the removable aerodynamic drag chute housing. It is positioned on that way, that the 5th gen fighter is not loosing any of its stealth capacity. It is developed with LM and Norway to land land the aircraft on short, icy runways. The Dutch bought the system too.
