Isn't the USA broke anyway ? There seems to be lots of money for defective garbage and none for actual humans.
F-22 Raptor stealth fighters at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia have been grounded after a pilot experienced oxygen loss mid-flight. It’s the second stand-down this year for the U.S. military’s most sophisticated dogfighter, and a foreboding sign for the Pentagon as it struggles to modernize its aerial armada.
Problems with the on-board oxygen system have vexed the $150-million-a-copy F-22 for more than a year. On May 3, the Air Force locked down the entire Raptor fleet while it investigated reports of pilot blackouts and disorientation — problems that might have contributed to a fatal F-22 crash in Alaska in November.
Why look. It's the page from the P-51 Mustang manual on oxygen over there, from 15 August 1945 !
Why is the MIC going backwards, besides stealing ?
