Air Force says high-g effects confused pilot in F-22 crash
Investigators say a March 25 accident that killed a Lockheed Martin Corp. test pilot was due to high-g effects during a test of the side weapons bay on the F-22 Raptor.

Cooley was killed by windblast when he ejected at 765 knots, far above tested limits.
