Air Force grounds F-22s over oxygen system concerns
The stand-down order was made Tuesday but is just now becoming public. It's unclear how long the stand down will last.
There are about 165 Raptors in the fleet. Since January, the aircraft already had been kept at altitudes under 25,000 feet during an ongoing investigation into a November crash. Flying above that altitude could cause a pilot to black out from lack of oxygen and lose control.
The stand-down affects all routine training and other missions, Faerrau said.
The Air Force is looking at all the systems on this new-generation fighter jet, but one area of focus is the On-Board Oxygen Generating System (OBOGS), according to Ferrau.
The order came from Gen. William Fraser, commander of Air Combat Command, which is based at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia.
Indian state chief declared dead
Indian home ministry spokesman Onkar Kedia confirmed the death of Dorjee Khandu, the chief minister of Arunachal Pradesh state, and five others on board the helicopter.
The wreckage was sighted Wednesday after an aerial survey of the difficult terrain in the state's Tawang district, from where it had taken off on Saturday.
Earlier, authorities broadened their search for the missing helicopter into Bhutan. A district in the tiny neighboring kingdom was among three locations that satellites and jets zeroed in on looking for Khandu's helicopter.
Officials said the search operation involved at least 3,500 personnel.
The helicopter belonged to India's state-run Pawan Hans company. Authorities raised the alarm when it did not arrive at Itanagar in Arunachal Pradesh on Saturday.
On April 20, at least 17 people were killed as a Pawan Hans helicopter caught fire upon landing in Tawang, officials said.

President Obama's Speech On Death of Osama Bin Laden
President Barack Obama announced Osama bin Laden's death in a military operation. His death was the result of a U.S. operation launched on May 1st in Abbottabad, Pakistan, against a compound where bin Laden was believed to be hiding, according to U.S. intelligence. After a firefight, a small team of American forces killed bin Laden and took possession of his body, the president said.
The announcement that Obama would speak came at 9:45 p.m., less than an hour before he was initially scheduled to go on the air. The unusual hour, and the fact that the White House gave no details about the topic, set off a flurry of speculation
The State Department is putting U.S. embassies on alert and is warning Americans abroad of possible reprisal attacks from al Qaeda and its affiliates around the world after the killing of the group's leader Osama bin Laden by American forces in Pakistan.
