An F-22 Raptor from the 525th Fighter Squadron takes off from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Sept. 21, after a four-month stand down. Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley and Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz recently approved an implementation plan developed by Air Combat Command officials that will allow the F-22 to resume flight operations. The commander of Air Combat Command directed a stand-down of the fleet, May 3, as a safety precaution following 12 separate reported incidents where pilots experienced hypoxia-like symptoms.
