Sufa für Trainingsflüge gegroundet

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - The Israeli air force said on Friday it was suspending
training flights using U.S.-made F-16I fighter jets after finding a
suspected cancer-causing substance in the cockpit.
Israel informed Lockheed Martin Corp, the U.S. defense contractor that
manufactures the F-16, that formaldehyde residues were leaking into the
cockpit, the military said in a statement.
"Tests have shown that the substance is formaldehyde, which was recently
identified as a carcinogen," the statement said.
The two-seater F-16I, known in Israel as the "Storm", was designed
specifically for the Israeli air force.
"The air force has passed the information to the aircraft manufacturer,
Lockheed Martin, and tests are being coordinated with the company," the
statement said.
The air force did not say whether non-training flights were affected.

Sie haben die Ursache noch nicht gefunden, Spekulationen gehen aber in die Richtung Klimaanlage
