Then why did this wish ruffle your feathers, if you don't even use them.
You could of just read this post and kicked rocks...  No need to flame it.

because probably the first time I'll look at the gauges once of them might be malfunctioning.  and that would probably upset me.

Gunsights did get shot out but I suspect the glass shrapnel from the reflector plate and the projector lenses blinded or killed the pilot. The electrical line to the lamp for the gunsight could get cut. Still gauges had glass fronts so there is that shrapnel problem in the much smaller fighter cockpit.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

The gauges in the LA can get shot out.....POOOFFF!!!!!  Wish granted... :devil

And random gauge malfunction would cause just as much whine as having random engine failure...

They do on the LA??
