Key modification is to keep the jets under 10,000 feet and have modified oxygen equipment.
I blame DINGBAT Obama for this mess.
With the US having flareups in the Middle East and Asia, our pilots have to stay combat ready.
Article states that two jets will be taken apart to find the source of the problem.
Clearly DINGBAT Obama ignored this problem as the article states that the problem has been going on for 5 years.
Maybe DINGBAT Obama will move to his home country and Kenya and put his presidential library there. The only problem would be for the Secret Service.
.....my first thought.....keeping the best,the best.
Since the problem is only on some not all jets, my thinker tells me that maintenance may not have been properly done
“The only problem would be for the Secret Service.”
Huh. How would the Secret Service NOT going to Kenya pose a problem for them?
I recall F-22s had oxygen problems for a while in 2014.
I guess they fixed them.
the T45 was chosen ,by Slick Willie, as a favor to his favorite Brit. So the British designed Goshawk, not designed for carrier landings, would be modified and strengthened to withstand both carrier arrests, and catapult take offs. The strengthening resulted in more weight, which then required engine enhancements. Which then resulted in more frame mods.
That the Navy then struck the TA4J Skyhawk and later the T2C Buckeye, without a backup plan has been seemingly without incident, up until now. The T2C was the only trainer that could be used to train for inverted spin, but students naval aviators are lectured on how to respond to a spin now. The next generation of flight trainers that are capable to land on carriers is still years away.
I think the real problem is the technology behind OBOGS. There have been hypoxia incidents with the F-22, F/A-18, and the T-45, all using OBOGS.
We can blame Obozo for a lot of things, but this isn’t one of them.
