Some of the jets came back yesterday, Tuesday. More expected today. Sounds scary and could have easily been catastrophic.
What a season this has been for them!

Malta Aviation Society president Joe Ciliberti said six of the jets had problems with their oxygen systems which was making it difficult for the pilots to breathe.
According to Mr Ciliberti, one of the pilots and a mechanic were in hospital with respiratory problems yesterday.

Bottles charged with the wrong or contaminated stuff?

Hope they all recover swiftly.

On a side note, surely its only a matter of time before 'Mike-wsm' shows up to stir the pot?
