JERUSALEM — The Israeli air force said yesterday 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.
