Did you know the New F-18 SuperHornet has Oxygen problems and the F-22 once had serious ones too?
The F-22 once had oxygen issues that pilots fear. Hypoxia can kill you if there is a leak and you pass out flying. The F-18 Superhornet has oxygen issues that they are still trying to figure out. Anyone have any insight to what the problem may be?

I read about this recently. This is definitely something that needs to be fixed ASAP..

I knew the F-22 had problems. First I've heard about the F-18. You would think they would ground them until it's corrected. Could this have contributed to the Blue Angel crash this year.

In the article it mentioned the issue has afflicted the Navy's Super Hornets and older F-18 Hornets. So it just made me wonder. I haven't seen any official cause of the crash yet.
