    An F-22 Raptor 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 Swartz 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.
