That diversion can be seen at this website FlightAware. Hyperbola has spoken to the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway airport at about noon local time today and have been told that WhiteKnight Two is sitting on the airport's cargo ramp and that its pilots do not want any pictures taken of the aircraft

Hyperbola will provide more infromation on the condition of the aircraft as soon as we get it
