On Saturday 22 February the Aeronautica Militare (Italian Air Force) received its first F-35B Lightning II (BL-03) from the Italian Final Assembly and Checkout (FACO) at Cameri.

With the help of today's internet media effectiveness the serial was confirmed as MM7453 (BL-01 is MM7451 and BL-02 MM7452).

This third F-35B Lightning II ordered by the Italian Defense left its production site at Cameri, and is commissioned by the Italian Air Force. The Italian Air Force has plans for 15 F-35Bs, while the Italian Navy will receive similar numbers for its Naval Aviation Group “Wolves”.
