well this is true.. I was jumpseating on an RJ once, the FMS broke during their climbout.. they had to get their enroute charts out and start looking stuff up.. you could tell those crisp charts have never been opened up before! lol. the captain did mention it was the second time that the FMS broke on him, first time was like 3 years ago.
