The Air Force was probing possible breakdowns in the oxygen supply system for the plane after several pilots reported problems, according to the journal Flight Global.
In one case, an F-22 scraped tree tops before landing and the pilot could not remember the incident, indicating a possible symptom of hypoxia from a lack of air, the magazine reported.
This thread is kind of misleading. They are grounded yes. But they can still fly so that means. If anyone tries anything funny the Raptor is going into the skies to kick the crap out of it.
Yes they can still fly below a certain altitude but can not get the proper training so they don't. Lots of simulator time i am sure. Crewed them for 4 yrs and loved every minute of it.

That is awesome... can you share more about your experience with this plane, and/or any others that you may have worked / been around?

According to the article, a "lack of training" isn't what's currently limiting the F-22's maximum allowed altitude, it's the suspected lack of a reliable oxygen supply.

I think you've got the if/then mixed up -- what he's saying if I read him correctly is they're not getting proper training because they can't fly above a certain altitude.
