"The electronic systems in modern cars and trucks — under new scrutiny as regulators continue to raise concerns about Toyota vehicles — are packed with up to 100 million lines of computer code, more than in some jet fighters." from this source.

Also there is a very interesting technical, business, and computer/software risk occurrence and "screw up" reporting site called The Risks Digest that is well worth looking at from time to time if you are interested in monitoring this kind of thing. It also has an RSS feed that you can subscribe to.

The F-86 Sabre is a "jet fighter". So is the MiG-15.

Jus' Sayin'.
