So apparently they hired Microsoft to do some softwares for F-22s and then forgot reset button. :D

F-16s had quite similar problem in autopilot, IIRC I read somewhere that bug caused plane to flip to inverted flight when crossing equator.

I think F-15 or F-16 had also some "small" problems with systems crashing because of negative altitude reading while flying through valley of Dead Sea.

    bore a hole in the canopy for the index finger to poke through = airspeed indicator

    (pilot takes off his glove, licks his finger first)

    SB: lmao! i love the idea of them doing that!

    you really would have thought they'd have checked all the code a bit more thoroughly on something costing that much!

    Uh, Microsoft is never mentioned in the article. I think that was just a joke on ET's part :)

    Yes. Really loudly, so he can be heard over the engines and the sound of air moving past at high speed.
