This mean it is now our property legally or the US can still impose embargo on it and stop its delivery to Turkey?
It is officially Turkish property. They cannot stop the deliveries of these 2 F-35 or any handed over until the bill is passed. It is just like Turkish F-35 stationed in USA.

The problem with the F35 is it's very heavy maintenance reliance on the US. Even as one of the biggest service centers in Europe with the capability to service the engines - as soon as the US cuts off critical service and maintenance the F35 turns into a flying duck.

There's also rumors about daily keys etc, but that was proven to be about the IFF signals IIRC.

Even if these first few get through, Turkey would be foolish to invest so much of its national resources on 100 aircraft that is completely dependent on US pleasure.

Now this bill will go to dustbin, Congrats brothers and all anti turks lobby failed. On serious note, if they blocked turkey then turkey can damage them more then any thing.
  1. As an partner in this project, Turkey have property rights and stopping on someone property means he have a right to stop using it till matter resolved and US can'y afford billions of losses because production will be stop in this case.
  2. Turkish firms are doing some major works in this project, and if they stop means program will be delays

This is same as USA F-22 are stationed on Turkish air base under NATO



It will take a year for the bill to be passed this bill not going to get through the house
Altough it was not mentioned by the media in Turkish, the state news agency says the training will take 2 years...

Turkey has ordered some 100 plus jets yes training will go beyond 2 years in my opinion. The point is in 3 months time Turkey will have it's first batch of trained pilots. With in a years time Turkey will have 3+ squads of F-35 ready so it will be quite difficult to restrict Turkey at that point for USA.

Now, i am clear. Thanks.

It's not "State news agency"s claim. They are a news agency as mentioned, they cannot make news by themselves. They just carry the news from sources to the people. Therefor, they cannot make claims. News agencies cannot be "source".

The source is "Turkish FM" in that report, and it appears to be fake news. Our FM is ignorant, immature, non-intellectual person who doesn't know how to keep it's cool altitude during harsh interviews.

F35s will come to Turkey in 2019 according to kokpitaero who attended to ceremony;

Then, how long will the training take for a pilot?Do we know?

Edit:
Right. AA is not a "state agency". I should have said "pro-government".

It doesn't matter pro-what that AA is. They are news agencies, they cannot claim things by themselves, they always have to quote news from other sources. The AA report you shared is about Turkish FM's claim. So we have to discuss the reliablity of Turkish FM, not AA.

It's not a "regular pilot training", it's a pilot trainer training as far as i understand. In video, aerospace journalist claims that planes will land in Turkey in November 2019, so nearly 1,5 years.
