5011 had an IFE (In Flight Emergency) and landed in Lubbock, TX while on route.

I say IFE, however LMTAS might consider it more a precautionary landing rather then IFE.

09-5005/OT and 09-5006/OT were the ones delievered through Luke on to Edwards.

A little birdy told me LMTAS delivered two F-35's to Edwards today. Tail numbers are unknown to me.

09-5004/OT "31 TES" and 09-5006/OT were on the runway as Strike 11/12 to be delivered yesterday. However one developed problems with its GPS and therefore both went ground aboard back to the hangar. They will fly through Luke for a fuel stop and on to Edwards.
