Article says they "troubleshot" the problem, not that they "handled" the
problem. It was my understanding that all the fighters returned in less than
fully operational status. Do you know something we don't?

What I would like to know is this: Was there a conversation where one old
timer was saying "we MUST have a com and flight control system that does not
depend on the main computer" and all the young techs and management where
saying "why?" or "no we don't" or "that will cost too much" or "instead we
should have redundant computers" (loaded with the same buggy code).
