Quite a few of our 402s still have those.

I'll see your KNS 80 and raise you one of these beauties.
Try using this Delco Carousel INS as your primary means of navigation. It holds a whopping 9, count 'em 9 waypoints. And you have to fat-finger the lat / longs in your self. It's great when ATC gives us direct to a point that wasn't on our flight plan.

I just got done training a guy that hasn't flown in 12yrs, and his last plane(C210P) had the KNS80.(I am very familiar and can use one very easily). So he buys a Mirage with dual G530W's, and he couldn't believe all I had to do was a direct-to XXX and not tune any frequencies etc.... I was more shocked that he hadn't really read up on this stuff, but his flying skills are good, just not with the new radios!
