Hi guys! Welcome back. So today we're going to see if we can trigger that unsigned integer underflow bug that some of you have been talking about. As you can see here I've already got an Iberia Airbus A380 heading perfectly due West towards Null Island and, thanks to the telemetry bug we found last week that still hasn't been patched we've got it showing as a two-seater Cessna so the occupation rate is 15000% so what were going to do is get the latitude, longitude and altitude to all cross zero at the same time...

    "Atlanta Center, Delta 412, descending through flight level 190, vector for runway 26 Right."

    "Delta 412, copy. Hold your horses, bad connection on your end, total dial-up energy."

    "Atlanta Center, American 805, five miles behind Delta 412, also requesting 26 Right."

    "American 805, radar contact. Wait, you guys are practically sniffing each other's tailpipes, this spacing is absolute dogshit."

    "American 805, we can go around and vector back if—"

    "Nah, speedrun mode activated. Both of you cleared land 26 Right, first one down gets the lobby win! LEeeerrrooooyyyyy mmmmmmJjjeeennnkkkiinnnsssss!!!"
