The US Air Force has suspended operations of five F-35As due to oxygen deficiency. According to the announcement of the service, the pilots of Arizona Luke Air Base have experienced oxygen deficiency five times in the last month. As the life support system shut down, oxygen tubes kicked in and before the pilots lose consciousness, the mission was cancelled. The service halted the flights of F-35As until Monday to find out the origin of the problem.
