An F-22 Raptor flies over Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska,
Sept. 21, 2011, after a four month stand down. Air Force senior leaders
recently approved an implementation plan that will allow the F-22 to
resume flight operations. The stand down of the fleet was directed May
3, 2011, as a safety precaution following 12 separate reported incidents
of pilots experiencing hypoxia-like symptoms. (US Air Force
