Penn State’s football team is traveling to Alabama this weekend to face Auburn on Saturday, but a logistical issue has disrupted the teams travel plans.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Pennsylvania State University’s football team is traveling to Alabama this weekend to face Auburn on Saturday, but a logistical issue has disrupted the teams travel plans.

“The 187th Fighter Wing is hard at work preparing for the 5th generation F-35A Lightning to arrive in December of 2023. The runway project is part of normal maintenance for the F-16 and to be better prepared for the F-35 arrival. Routine maintenance on the cables is required with fighter jets and is extremely important to the safety of our pilots. The 187th Fighter Wing is committed to safety and readily looking forward to the F-35 arrival,” the Alabama National Guard said in a statement.

Bucklew added that the Air Force, the Montgomery Regional Airport and Montgomery Aviation are partnering to make sure Penn State and other traveling teams are not inconvenienced during this time. But on the other hand, sources told the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce that Penn State is, in fact, flying into Maxwell.

Buckalew says it sounds like a miscommunication about what travel options the team knew were available.
