I agree with "doorgunner"....it was most likely a glitch in how the software handled the date change fed from the GPS navigation system.

Like someone else above - its is stunning that there isn't at least a rudimentary set of analog backups on the F-22. But then, your have to assume they would be useful by the new breed of pilots - I wonder if they have the training to fly anything but a computer controlled, glass cockpit rocket!!

Look'ie there Flash, that dial is round

It's been said a lot of older pilots had a deep mistrust for the new "fly-by-wire" systems of the F-16 and -18. You have to wonder what other "gotchas" might lurk in the code.

At least they still had flight control...........
