Air Force putting F-22 Raptors back in service - latimes.com

I think this good - the USAF is bringing back the F-22 into service after pulling them out of service May 3 because of a dozen incidents of pilot oxygen being cut off.

Of course, because the pilots were not flying the F-22 during those four months they are not considered current on the aircraft and will have to re-qualify as F-22 pilots.

Problem is that it doesn't appear that they figured out why the oxygen cut out. This is not good for the pilot. Perhaps the USAF is anxious about getting some use out of the aircraft that cost $412 million apiece, as they have not yet flown in combat since entering service in 2005.
