> The F35 lost radio communication after crossing the international date line the wrong direction IIRC, and the pilots had to use hand signals to land.

From what I remember, the first time 4 USAF F22 were flying across international date line to deploy to Hawaii(?), they had software related issues. As they flew across the international date line (first time in a real flight), all computers on the jets crashed, including navigation/etc.

Luckily they were flying in close formation with a tanker, signaled with flashlights, and were able to follow the tanker back to another base safely.

I believe USAF requires a multi jet (usually tanker) to accompany small jets when they are flying across the ocean.

Deploying to Guam. Hawaii is on the same side of the dateline as the continental United States. Also, as I recall, they simply rebooted the computers.

You're correct, it was the F22, not the F35.
