We signed a new agreement with the DOW to build a multiyear contract for the F-35, designed to reinforce our longstanding partnership and save billions in taxpayer dollars.

UPDATE: Coronet Delivery 094 - New F-35s for Europe
Tankers "BLUE01" and "BLUE02" are on approach to the southern UK now with only 5 of the 6 F-35As in tow - I'm told that one of the jets for Finland had the fault yesterday and has not been fixed in time to move today!

@MATA_osint @Azorean_Lion @ArmchairAdml @AUX_OSINT
3 🇧🇪 F-35’s and 2 🇫🇮 F-35’s on their way for delivery. No worries Finland, Belgium had this happen aswel when it took delivery of 3/4 F-35’s last October. 4th one came couple weeks later 😅

UPDATE: Coronet Delivery 094 - New F-35s for Europe
Coronet Delivery 094 should be departing Lajes shortly for northern Europe, with 3x F-35A destined for Finland and 3x F-35A destined for Belgium. It looks like the two tankers that flew with them to Lajes earlier this week will be the support for this final leg of their journey before heading to RAF Mildenhall (EGUN):

I'm being told by multiple folks in replies and DMs that there are in fact 6x F-35s in this delivery - comprising 3 for Belgium and 3 for Finland!
