Oxygen problems plaguing the Air Force’s F-22 stealth fighter are afflicting maintainers working on the plane — as well as pilots — with dizziness, nausea and other hypoxia-like symptoms, Air Force Times has learned.

At least five ground maintainers complained of illness between September and December, Air Combat Command spokesman Lt. Col. Tadd Sholtis said in an Air Force Times article that hit the newsstands Monday. The maintainers grew sick after breathing in ambient air during ground engine runs, a congressional aide told Air Force Times.
