It's amazing, some of the pilots forgot simple things like how to operate the radio because of all the toxins that've contaminated their body. Obviously concerned, the Air Force promptly launched a three-month investigation and this week revealed their reports which are, um, inconclusive. They still don't know a damn thing about how it happened. All they know the pilots in six of the seven F-22 bases suffered 'hypoxia-like symptoms' (oxygen deprivation). A former F-22 pilot said:
There is a lot of nasty stuff getting pumped into the pilots' bloodstream through what they're breathing from that OBOGS [On-Board Oxygen Generation System]. That's fact. How bad it is, what type it is, exactly how much of it, how long - all these things have not been answered."This confusing saga adds to a list of F-22 troubles. Hopefully, they figure it out soon cause the Air Force fleet of F-22 fighter jets have been grounded since May 3rd. [Air Force Times via The Atlantic Wire, Image Credit: Aero-Cafe]
