A sign of the times.

LOL.

Back in our day we flew non precision approaches to minimums uphill in the ice and snow.

I have to admit that round gauges are starting to look antique to my eyes, but I didn't realize this perception had become widespread.

When the marketing guys pick up on it, you know it's common!

They are Vintage. Not many RMI left, and the attitude is just the line, now blue/brown horizon.

So how do you do instrument coasters with glass panel airplanes?

Uphill both ways in the snow... With only an ADF.

Yeah, those are pretty vintage looking. Amazon has several varieties, some more modern round dials.

You're uncoordinated.

I stare at computers all day. I like round dials.

 

[MAKG1]

Does every one of those sets indicate a dead gyro?

Are you turning left or right?

10/10 would buy

And you also need a new altimeter.

Seriously, who makes this cheap c*ap?


Also, Jay, read the reviews on Vamazon. Not all of them are raving good. It seems this is an overpriced set of "quality" coasters from China. Careful.
