Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu - RNLAF) F-35A's

[RNLAF_KB]

The Royal Netherlands Air Force has 8 F-35A's from RNLAF 323SQN permanently based/stationed at Edwards Air Force Base (KEDW) for training, evaluation, and testing purposes. The flight plans for these jets have been made by me. (F-001 t/m F-008). All the following jets will be based in the Netherlands. RNLAF 322SQN (Polly Parrot) based at Leeuwarden AB (EHLW) is the first squadron in the Netherlands that has fully transitioned to the F-35A's. The remaining F-16AM/BM's have been transferred to Volkel AB (EHVK).

The flightplans for 322SQN aren't my own but I have edited them to contain the F-35A instead of the F-16AM/BM.
The flightplans for 323SQN (KEDW) are based on available flightplans, I just modified/expanded them.

p.s. EHLW is also the location where Frisian Flag is held, so there's a lot of foreign traffic.

Interesting fact: Multiple Dutch Squadrons/units are currently stationed in the USA.

1. AH-64's & CH-47's at Fort Hood for Training/OCU --> RNLAF 302SQN at Fort Hood
2. F-16AM/BM's at Tucson for OCU --> RNLAF Detachment attached to 162nd Fighter Wing of the Arizona ANG
3. F-35A's at Edwards AFB for training, testing, and evaluation --> RNLAF 323SQN at Edwards AFB

Research my friend;
All the Dutch USA-based F-35's are at Luke AFB and are part of the 308th FS.

Hoi,

Talking about research....according to defensie.nl this squadron is at Edwards AFB for testing and evaluation.

It's either that their information is old or I don't know.

Nederlands F-35 are at Luke, not Edwards.

There are two nations with testing sqns at Edwards. The RAF with 17 Sqn and the RNLAF with 323 Sqn.

However, the Dutch training is done at Luke with the 308th FS. The unit was set up to train Dutch and Danish crews.
From what I have seen the 308th have all the allocated Dutch F-35s in the US, so whether 323 borrows aircraft when needed or uses US aircraft, or possibly RAF ones, I do not know.

A very confusing situation. I'll probably just allocate F-001 and F-002 to Edwards, and the remaining F-003 till F-008 to Luke AFB as a compromise. I'll probably release some screenshots by next week!
