As the F-22 Raptors crossed the International dateline toward Okinawa, Japan, when longitude changes from W179.99 degrees to E180 degrees, the navigational computers went haywire and started affecting other systems. As a result, most of the squadron had to turn around and return to Hawaii. I hope this is the only glitch for the F-22.
Don Sheppard (ret.): "...At the international date line, whoops, all systems dumped and when I say all systems, I mean all systems, their navigation, part of their communications, their fuel systems. They were -- they could have been in real trouble. They were with their tankers. The tankers - they tried to reset their systems, couldn't get them reset. The tankers brought them back to Hawaii. This could have been real serious. It certainly could have been real serious if the weather had been bad. It turned out OK. It was fixed in 48 hours. It was a computer glitch in the millions of lines of code, somebody made an error in a couple lines of the code and everything goes." -
They should have used mac instead.
At least they made it all back safely. -
much like the Y2K "virus"
-
Systems break down and cant make out locations,altitude and speed,this report
translated from western media claimed.
The plane cant adapt to change of international date line.
2.This report joked if this $330 million products is clock,
it will be rejected!! -
I must say admit its a very funny error for a super sophisticated plane.
-
well, it's just something that is easily overlooked and rectified.

as usual, lionnoisy is beating his chest and making a mountain out of a molehill.
