The only thing to do is to go to f35.com (or maybe Janes) and go through the stories
www.f35.com
Since Italy was the first (outside of the US) we could see if it is still flying all their planes.
Actually, the Italian (not the Israeli) Air Force has been the first service to take delivery of the first operational F-35s outside the United States. On
theaviationist.com
Italian Air Force chief of staff Gen. Luca Goretti explained how the service is using its F-35s and why they are flying in the Indo-Pacific.
