Well, that's true, but it's not new. However, it could also be argued that it is also done by pilots. We had great nav kit in the F3, but when I was leading a flypast (or something equally operationaly vital), I would still use an IP-tgt map, the compass and a stopwatch. Admittedly not my Dalton Computer, but then I never really had spare pocket space or time for that.
