Sources told Aviation Week that a F-35A that caught fire at Mountain Home Air Force Base last week was most likely caused by strong tailwinds as the F135 engine was starting.

Excess fuel might have been left in the exhaust duct after an aborted start and it may have cause the fire after a restart.
Aviation Week also found out that the mishap aircraft is not affected by the recent cooling line problem.
