I guess we just went from 187 F-22s down to 186. Those planes cost about $250 million apiece.

Some are calling for the total scrapping of the problem-plagued F-35 Lightning II JSF program, and do a restart of the F-22 production line instead.

I wonder if this had anything to do with the aircraft's OBOGS system (on-board oxygen generation system). That system has had problems, leading to the fleet being temporarily grounded for a period.

I'm glad the pilot ejected safely.
