Air Force grounds F-22 fleet yet again — RT:
"The United States Air Force temporarily halted operations for its $77.4 billion fleet of F-22 Raptors this week after several of the plane’s pilots reported bizarre symptoms linked with oxygen deprivation.
Pilots at a military base in Alaska are reporting symptoms linked with hypoxia after being engaged in missions onboard the Air Force’s F-22 Raptor aircraft, a Lockheed Martin-made stealth jet that runs at around $143 million-per-plane. There have been at least three incidents reported out of the Elmendorf-Richardson Joint Base in the last two weeks which is now causing concern within the US Air Force.
Only last May, the Air Force temporarily suspended the Raptor program in order to investigate a series of mysterious claims at the time. The craft was cleared to go back in the sky this past September, but pilots have reported nine instances of hypoxia-like symptoms in the six months since."
