22. The F-22 Suffered From A Major Software Issue On Its First Overseas Flight
In February 2007, 12 F-22 Raptors of the 27th Fighter Squadron were flying from Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii to Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan. The flight was the first overseas deployment for the aircraft. En route, some F-22s encountered a software issue. The error affected the aircraft’s navigation system while crossing the International Date Line. With clear skies, the Raptors returned to Hawaii for repair. The journey was delayed by two days.
