I have not heard of any such jets being delivered. All I keep hearing about are production delays and countries like Canada thinking about cutting their losses and quitting the program in favor of a new run of the CF-18 Super Hornet.

In December of 2013, they delivered the 100th plane. I read an article a few days ago that 150 should be done by June.

Now, they aren’t operational. They are having squadrons train maintenance and pilots on them.

If you Wiki F-35, it has a breakdown of how many A, B and C models have been delivered. Personally, I am surprised how many C models (Navy) have been made because of the arrester hook mods they were going to have to do.
