E6-B Flight Computer
 
I'm curious about the E6-B Flight Computer.

For those of you using an alternative, exactly what alternative are you using?

Thanks.

Jeppesen CR-3 - much easier to use and much more versatile. Mostly cheaper too.

Same one issued to me by the US Army in 1967.

The standard small E-6B.

Did buy the Round one....as it fit into a shirt pocket but never liked it and went back to the original.

Offshore flying it was useful in trips to moving vessels and multiple stops at rigs/platforms (pre-GPS).

Saw an E-6A once in a museum. Has 60 at the top where 10 is on the E-6B. Vintage 1940.

I used the Jeppesen CR3 shirt pocket computer for the last 38 years of my flying career. I liked it because it was compact and easy to use.
