(Fort Worth, TX) — Two F-35’s have landed in Fort Worth for this weekend’s airshow.

The fighter jets touched down Thursday at Fort Worth Alliance Airport.  Earlier that day, the Pentagon had grounded all 250 of its F-35 aircraft until they could undergo individual inspections.  This after a pilot had to eject last month because of a suspected faulty fuel tube.  The two visiting jets to North Texas were among the first ones in the country to be cleared to fly.

Lockheed Martin manufactures the F-35 strike fighter at its plant in Fort Worth.
