"Two military pilots won't fly the F-22 Raptor, the Air Force's most
sophisticated fighter plane, because they say a lack of oxygen during flight
is causing disorientation and worse. Lesley Stahl reports.

Military officers rarely speak out against their services, but in our lead
story you'll hear from two elite pilots who question the safety of Air
Force's most sophisticated, stealthy, and expensive fighter jet, the F-22
Raptor. Maj. Jeremy Gordon and Capt. Joshua Wilson have chosen to stop
flying the F-22 because they say during some flights they and other pilots
have experienced oxygen deprivation, disorientation, and worse. They are
concerned about their safety in the air, as well as the long-term health
consequences. The Air Force says it is doing all it can to investigate and
solve the problem, and are keeping the jets in the air with careful
supervision of the pilots."
