     No glass panels ever!  That was my single objection to the C-130J.  I'm 
not at all comfortable with an all-electronic instrument panel.  Nice in 
fighters where weight is a consideration or if you are enamoured with 
razzle-dazzle technology.  Flat-screen radar displays, yes.  All you need is a 
small EMP blast and your instrumentation is toast.

     I still have the suction-operated artificial horizon.  Found it in a large 
lot of Taylorcraft parts which my dad bought that was found in a hangar loft.
