If you can weed through all the information about everything going wrong with the Aviator, there is this:
"Ford Motor Co. confirmed this week that Aviators are being shipped from the Chicago Assembly Plant directly to dealers now, though the company acknowledged that a number of Aviators shipped 270 miles by truck to the Flat Rock Assembly Plant remain there for post-production troubleshooting."
Hopefully this means they have got the QC issues under control and the cars are rolling out of Chicago with no problems.
