Stealth fighters hit by software crash
Retired Air Force general Don Shepperd told CNN Television that F-22As that encounter software problems during their flight from Hawaii to Japan had to be guide back by their tankers under VFR.

The fighter's onboard navigation, communications and fuel systems crashed while crossing the International Date Line.

The software had problems converting from 179.99W degrees to 180E degrees longitude.
