They will not make it to RIAT at Fairford, but they could still attend Farnborough International Airshow 2014.
The above image was posted by Naval Air Station Patuxent River Facebook page on Jul. 10.
It shows the four F-35B aircraft from VMFA-121 Green Knights at MCAS Yuma, that arrived at Pax River on Friday, Jun 27, on their way to the UK where they were expected to take part in Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) and Farnborough International Airshow (FIA).
On Jul. 3, a fleet-wide grounding forced them to remain parked on the VX-23 apron.
It has just been announced, that the aircraft will not make it to the RIAT airshow. Still, there are some chances they can support the FIA airshow.
