TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- All F/A-22 Raptors were cleared to resume flying Thursday for the first time since the new stealth fighters were grounded after a Dec. 20 crash in Nevada, Air Force officials said.Tyndall is the Air Force's only training base for Raptor pilots. Thirteen of the service's 28 F/A-22's are based here.
They were grounded as a precaution after the crash at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. Safety and accident investigation boards have not completed their work, but senior Air Force leaders believe the Raptor can be flown safely based on preliminary results.
"We have confidence in our current flying procedures, and any lessons learned from the Nellis incident will be applied to the F/A-22 program here," said Brig. Gen. Jack Egginton, commander of Tyndall's 325th Fighter Wing.
