F-22 canopy jam blamed on loose screws
Loose screws were to be blamed for the canopy accident on a F-22A which trapped the pilot for five hours last month.
An unofficial investigation found that mounting screws "backed out" and caused the jam. Lockheed Martin says it will install longer screws and the Air Force will inspect all Raptor canopies.
