The Air Force Times is reporting the U.S. Air Force is blaming pilot error for an F-22 raptor crash that killed an Alaska-based pilot.
Capt. Jeff Haney was killed near Denali in November 2010.
According to the article, the U.S. Air Force Accident Investigation Board reports there was a malfunction with the jet's bleed air intake and that automatically triggered a shut down of multiple systems, including the primary oxygen system.
But the board blames Haney for not reacting quickly enough and activating the emergency oxygen system.
