HUD goes Tango-Uniform. Do you RTB?

On another post Beagle mentioned this about a glass cockpit, in the context of a tail chase:

With all that gucci glass, will Bloggs be spending longer time 'head-in' than was accepted in aircraft such as the Bulldog or JP?
Made me wonder that with all the Gucci (love that word, sorry) helmets and HUD's if you lose the electronics in either would a modern FJ pilot be forced to abort the mission?

In other words have the days of Stop Watches and Charts long gone in modern Fast Jet fleets?
