grumpapotamus 0 Posted March 6, 2007 I remember hearing of similar problems with F-16s in the 80's when crossing the equator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nesher 628 Posted March 7, 2007 (edited) thanks for the intel... that's very interesting, such a "small" matter caused a huge problem like the General said, lucky for them they caught it on time before it became fully opertional and oh yeah, blame the Programmers! :P Edited March 7, 2007 by Nesher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FastCargo 412 Posted March 18, 2007 It's funny how software has become just as important as hardware in aviation. The 777 has glitches that have only recently been ironed out. Embarer is dealing with a host of issues with their new aircraft (ask JetBlue about it). The C-17 had teething software issues at first. Even our aircraft (T-38C) had a few problems initially, now it's great how our capabilities keep jumping up with just software upgrades....no changes to the hardware.
