USAF F-35A Resumes Flights, Ejection Seat Inspections Completed
The US Air Force (USAF) has confirmed its entire fleet of F-35A stealth fighter jets are back in the air, and there are no more problems with ejection seats. Previously, the USAF temporarily suspended all F-35A operations for inspections due to malfunctioning cartridge actuated devices (CAD) which put the pilot’s life in an emergency. The USAF inspected a total of 706 cartridges out of 349 F-35As. The USAF had tested 2,700 F-35 ejection seat cartridges and discovered three failures.
