During the initial years of service, F-22 pilots experienced symptoms as a result of oxygen system issues that include loss of consciousness, memory loss, emotional lability and neurological changes as well as lingering respiratory problems and a chronic cough; the issues resulted in a four-month grounding in 2011.[191][192] In August 2012, the DoD found that the BRAG valve, used to inflate the pilot's vest during high-g maneuvers, was defective and restricted breathing and the OBOGS (onboard oxygen generation system) unexpectedly reduced oxygen levels during high-g maneuvers

Considering that one pilot has already died due to this oxygen issue (which the Air Force had said was his fault due to him being too distracted by his inability to breath to engage the reserve oxygen system), not to mention over a dozen other incidents and near crashes due to oxygen issues which resulted in the F-22 being ground not once, but twice while they tried to figure it out the problem, I think these two officers have a legitimate claim.

The best weapon we have is our paratroopers just saying. Paratroopers are way cooler than pilots or their jets. Don't believe me, ill prove it. Paratroopers jump out of planes, pilots just fly them. Paratroopers consume a lot of alcohol before mission, pilots cant drink 8 hours before flying. Paratroopers have high interest car loans, pilots don't even own their jets.

They all receive the same training except some work civillian jobs and only get called to serve when needed.
+sager153 it'd be easier to look it up yourself. They changed a few things and fixed it. It's debatable what the actual problem was because there were probably multiple factors that will never be revealed, but it is no longer an issue. This was from years ago.
Lack of or too much oxygen does not cause coughing. Breathable air or oxygen tanks may pass all quality tests but sometimes the breathing equipment itself is overlooked. For example: plasticizers, i.e., substances added to plastics to increase their flexibility, transparency, durability, and longevity may "out-gas" and may get breathed in by a pilot. In fact when you smell that "new car" smell you are breathing in phthalates (plasticizers) that will lessen over time.

Sorry about the illness. I saw 2 F22 Raptors perform at the OshKosh air show last summer. Could very well have been the coolest thing I've ever seen and heard in my life!
I had a very similar situation.... As I peddled my Huffy X12 down a particularly steep street, I lost control at about 77 mph and struck a dumpster behind a Long John Silvers. 17 days later I woke from a coma, and had the exact same symptoms. What a remarkable coincidence.
I understand you totally, once I got in a go kart, and after 40 minutes of hard racing, I threw up my lunch, lot of dizziness, and had lack of oxigen inside the helmet, just as the f22 never found out where the leak was.
You should have sued that Long John Silvers for building their business there and placing that dumpster in such a way where anyone careening out of control on a Huffy would be most likely to strike it. Any architect and/or engineer worth their salt should have easily foreseen that situation.
I absolutely concur with you and in all actuality, I feel really bad for these two pilots. With the death of Capt Jeff Haney in 2010, you would think it would be enough to raise some thought, but apparently not. I commend both Major Gordon and Capt Wilson for stepping forward and voicing their concerns however, I fear for their careers because I know the Air Force does not like bad publicity. All the best to these two guys.
Valve in the pressure vests worn by the pilots wasn't letting enough oxygen in. Pathetic that it took them so long to figure it out. Reports had it they took the plane apart looking for the issue..lol

To the people who feel drones are better: A drone may be safer For pilots since they're controlled remotely. That being said, because of the fact that drones are controlled remotely, they're naturally slower to react, and will encounter more technical issues. If a drone where to go offline, then you have the problem of an explosive-armed aircraft plummeting towards earth, with limited knowledge of where it'll hit. A pilot who is in the cockpit of the aircraft is in full control at all times and is quicker to react in any scenario. In addition, a pilot who only flys drones may never experience the thrill of flying over the speed of sound and the pure rush from flying such a magnificent aircraft. That is my opinion
I'm not an expert, just a engineering student, but with the electronic system there's a ton of problems that the electronics could have, and you would never keep controlling the plane in some of them so it doesn't make sense to say " In the drone goes offline..." because with that problems thw plane will be an "explosive-armed aircraft plummeting towards earth", with one difference : With a pilot on it. And I support the crewed planes, but both have points.

The true cause has not been identified so it still happens. Don’t let them fool you on saying it was the valve and a few other issues. More than just pilots have these issues and they don’t wear the suit or take the oxygen. Mechanics have had issues
I believe positive or negative G forces have many unknown effects on the human body. Humans as well as any other living creature on this planet have evolved in an environment with one gravitational unit.

I’ll look for it and link it around here. But long story short he is the reason why ejection seats are at a angle now Found it- ruclips.net/video/HV4JzoeaWTQ/видео.html
@@edscmidt5193 That’s not the same as consistently pulling several G’s for 30 minutes to an hour or longer. These pilots are not having biological problems with prolonged 0 g. They are having issues with prolonged heavy g’s. Well over 3 g’s. Unlike most jets that have come before these 5th generation fighters might have more capability than the body can handle. F-18’s we’re great, but the F-22 might just be the end for piloted planes.
Rachel Maxwell the flight suits only prevent the pilot from falling unconscious by squeezing their legs and keeping the blood in their system where it's needed, the reason that there's been health problems is the the f22 wasn't designed right the first time, they would have the oxygen system aboard not letting enough in as it should, this caused the pilot to not get the right amount so that when they are on the ground they aren't breathing right. Being the I flew the A-6 intruder in the navy I had no problems with the oxygen system and that I would only wobble when I started walking because it feels like just getting off of a rollercoaster. The flight suits, or as we call them "G Suits" would prevent us from losing consciousness while pulling high g turns or high g rolls
This is very concerning & should be vetted to see who else shares these issues, since F-22s are not exported, so is there a true issue, or perhaps a created one, to secretly give cause to sell them. I hope not. As a side note, I served in this branch & do suffer the inability to fill my lungs & get a full breath, so I know exactly what he's referring to.

I'm baffled by some of the ignorance in this comment section. If no one understands the physics behind super sonic jets and the tremendous strain they put on soldiers please don't comment.
I kind of believe it's like a football player that gets hit in the head so many times because your head is getting tossed around by so much torque from these Jets
Those maneuvers they pull in a F-22 literally bend/defy the laws of physics... It makes total sense to me that humans would have some central nervous system issues after flying those insane maneuvers.
They should've started replacing the F-22 Raptor sooner then later. I really thought it was a bad idea to replace the F-22 Raptor until he said the problems it has.
What's interesting is that so many people, myself included, say they want to become a fighter pilot until you get to primary and hop in that T-6 Texan II only to find out just how rigorous choosing the fighter route will be on your body. I've known many guys who fall under this category. It's a glorified position for obvious reasons, but it by no means is easy physically. Family friend who flew F-4s has a bunch of back issues from his flying days. Long story short, would it be cool? Of course. Is the long-term health risk worth it? That's a personal decision each individual has to make. Mine was a hard negative. I'll be in awe from the ground while flying things that don't pose such health risks, therefore still fulfilling the flying love of a lifetime.
This is insanely old. But the real health issue is the strain and stress on your arteries and veins and especially the heart. Pulling those G’s even for 5 seconds puts insane strain on your cardiovascular system.
To summarize: "I flew F16s before aircraft exhaust treatment. I flew the F22 in the most polluted air since the Ford administration, with more nano alloy particulates than an aluminum foundry... and now I have mysterious breathing problems." Both were 9G airframes. It wasn't the plane. It was the air you were flying in. Regardless... the response is the same "we have determined your condition is not service related"

Haha
This issue was resolved years ago.
Resonant vibration?
Radiation?
Vapors?
Those maneuvers they pull in a F-22 literally bend/defy the laws of physics...
It makes total sense to me that humans would have some central nervous system issues after flying those insane maneuvers.
They literally do not or else the F22 would literally be an out of this universe-plane.
@@kolddkthe thoughts nice but yeh nothing can bend any laws🤣🤣🤣
What causes that?
How could one strengthen their body to function under those conditions?
Live mostly in a high altitude low oxygen sealed apartment?
I sometimes forget how old the F22 is
So what your telling me is there is an even more expensive and dangerous alternative to smoking???!?
lol what’s up with Goose over there with the moustache 😂😂😂
Sounds like the feeling after a car crash without the coughing
The puplis are very dialated for lights being directly in the face...strange.
They should've started replacing the F-22 Raptor sooner then later. I really thought it was a bad idea to replace the F-22 Raptor until he said the problems it has.
Dude this video is 11 years old the problem was fixed a decade ago
What's interesting is that so many people, myself included, say they want to become a fighter pilot until you get to primary and hop in that T-6 Texan II only to find out just how rigorous choosing the fighter route will be on your body. I've known many guys who fall under this category. It's a glorified position for obvious reasons, but it by no means is easy physically. Family friend who flew F-4s has a bunch of back issues from his flying days. Long story short, would it be cool? Of course. Is the long-term health risk worth it? That's a personal decision each individual has to make. Mine was a hard negative. I'll be in awe from the ground while flying things that don't pose such health risks, therefore still fulfilling the flying love of a lifetime.
0 to 12 miles in a minute... or 62,000 feet.
He about to get a big check
Also humans weren't meant to be in a vessel that goes 700mph
Cesar M. Has nothing to do with it.
It`s not for everyone!
PAO cooling fluid is leaking into the OBOGS and the pilots are breathing it in. 💀
“Your injuries were not service related”
Random sidenote, this pilot looks like he could be Bill Paxton's son lol
After hearing his symptoms, it seems I have been unknowingly flying F-22 jets for the last twenty years.
his pupils are huge for being in that much light
People on the news are always on amphetamines. Amphetamine usage is extremely common in the “upper layers” of society.
They had the OG COVID, dam not from Bats but from killing Fox bats!
We all have health issues from the various jobs we perform.
They probably still have better health on average than the rest of the population.
Did they find the problem!? Fixed it??
Yep over a decade ago! Another one who doesn't read the dates
That sucks and also I thought.. " Side effects from riding on the back of dragon may include. ".... F 22 is a beast!!
Issue has been resolved. For a while now :)
Haha. Reporter acrs like she is a doctor now. "Sounds like everything surrounding the lungs."
Thank u for ur service 🇺🇸
A typical example of Work hazards
I feel the same...after flying some hours in VR 😂
The technology of these planes MAY be too much for the human body to deal with.
"im sorry major. your brain damage caused by asphyxiation in cockpit is not service related"
He probably got a hiatal type hernia. All those symptoms are common.
Maybe some bad isolation, some materials degradation and maybe some Extreme GForces effect, only replace the pilot by AI…
So what do they want. 3 million.. > What is the point? of this? Being a fighter pilot is dangerous business.. obviously.
This is insanely old. But the real health issue is the strain and stress on your arteries and veins and especially the heart. Pulling those G’s even for 5 seconds puts insane strain on your cardiovascular system.
To summarize: "I flew F16s before aircraft exhaust treatment. I flew the F22 in the most polluted air since the Ford administration, with more nano alloy particulates than an aluminum foundry... and now I have mysterious breathing problems."
Both were 9G airframes.
It wasn't the plane. It was the air you were flying in.
Regardless... the response is the same "we have determined your condition is not service related"
Faulty or contaminated air system?
They never had these issues prior?
The airforce told him the following... youre experiencing the symptoms because youre unpatriotic!
Being overly tired with broken sleep and fatigued will do the same thing.
age?
