The T-6B Texan II turboprop is used as a training aircraft for the training of pilots in the Air Force, Navy and the United States Marine Corps. In 2018, a whole series of cases of clouding of consciousness was recorded in pilots who piloted these aircraft. As it was later established, the cause of the sudden ailments was a sharp change in the composition of the breathing gas supplied to the pilots' masks. This problem has existed since 2001, but in 2018, due to the increased frequency of loss of consciousness by pilots, flights of the T-6B Texan II were suspended indefinitely.
