True "children of the magenta line" right there...

I made the transition from a ProLine4 CRJ to an electromechanical Sperry ADI 1983 Citation II without any problems...and know more than a few who have struggled going from 20/30 series Lears and 500-series Citations to anything with modern Honeywell Primus or Collins ProLine avionics.

The future students graduating from Purdue who have only flown the G1000 will be more than capable of quickly becoming proficient with "steam" gauges IF they want to be.
