As soon as I saw the title, I thought of the furor when Gingrich and Clinton discovered that the FAA was using vacuum tube computers and radar in the air traffic control system. http://govinfo.library.unt.edu/npr/library/clinton.htm The foreign (sole) vacuum tube supplier that Clinton mentioned was Russia. Oh, the embarrassment!
I knew that there were some delays in rolling out the the replacement system, so I did some googling to see when it actually occurred. My god, it's now. We are in the middle of it. The upgrade was responsible for the recent air traffic meltdown. Please somebody, point out my flawed research skills. I cant believe this.
