I've not worked on a flight computer, but I did some minor work on a battleship's navigation system in 1999. It was in C.
You'd all also be horrified to know that your dreams of a mission critical software sector where everything is super rigorous and disciplined are just dreams. They were an inch away from outsourcing that shit to Pajeets and I'd not be surprised to learn that in the years after they found a way to do it.

Probably all Pajeet and Java now. Even C is too traumatizing to brainlets.

We're fucked in an actual war as our defense contractors are just parasites now while China is building things that actually work. While "actually work" is the Chinese definition, it's still more effective than a hole in the water filled with money.

That's why Trump is being autistic about making certain the US Nuclear arsenal actually works. I bet many of those systems are still coded in Fortran.
