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."
