Spy Plane Fries Air Traffic Control Computers, Shuts Down LAX
A relic from the Cold War appears to have triggered a software glitch at a major air traffic control center in California that led to delays and cancellations of hundreds of flights across the country, sources familiar with the incident told NBC News.

Maybe if the FAA would upgrade their archaic software and hardware they wouldn't have problems like this. I'm surprised they were Y2K compliant.
Sorry but this is the newest FAA computer, and is a very important part of the whole NextGen ATC system. Can't flight plan and seperate aircraft 10 miles below it. Just sorry but isn't Lockmart the same folks making the F35?
The news report that I read on this said that the U2 was filed as VFR when it was at FL600, and this is what cause the computer glitch.
Well, ain't that just perfect?
From someone who knows first hand, it wasn't a, "Cold War era spy plane" that caused the computer crash. It was as simple as a data entry person who improperly put a flight plan into the NAS that caused it. A glitch in a altitude assignment caused it.
Ken, I think you are correct. They filed VFR.
