SISSY!  :D

OK, I called you a sissy.

Sure it's real easy to shoot around the sky with GPS or even INS, but the golden age of the 727, 707 did not have these wonderful things, yet we were able to find our way around the sky and even find intersections. No sissy pilots here!  ;D

My point is you can do a lot with just two VOR's and DME's to find any intersection on the chart. I realize that fancy moving maps are very cool, and I indeed loved them in the 767,757 but that was not available in the era of the 727, 707. Sure, it was added later, but CS is recreating the old gal as she was - steam and all! :P
