Military Whistleblowers Express Fears About F-22 Safety -- 60 Minutes/CBS
A highly-decorated F-22 pilot says he's "not comfortable" flying the nation's top fighter jet, the F-22 Raptor. The F-22 was grounded last year, after a rash of incidents in which pilots experienced severe disorientation from a lack of oxygen while flying.
