Scary would be right.

Reminds me of the F-22 Raptor crossing the International Dateline error in 2007. They were flying a squadron of them from Hawaii to Japan. They crossed the IDL and all nav/fuel systems went down, as well as some communications gear.

They only made it back because they were flying with tankers at time, who led them back to base.

Was that a coordinate thing, a timezone thing, or something else?

I'm assuming the former.
