The Air Force announced Monday that its F-35A Lightning IIs are flying again, after a recall related to the aircraft's ejection seats grounded the fighter jets late last month.

Martin-Baker, a U.K. manufacturer, identified a problem with some of its cartridge-actuated devices -- explosive components used to launch an ejection seat out of the cockpit -- earlier this year.
