The B1 pilots have probably been wondering why their personal Toyotas have better navigation systems than their aircraft. :)

Electronics technology advances very quickly.

I just don't understand why (other than due to bureaucratic rules and the way procurement contracts are done) electronics aren't routinely scheduled for upgrade every five years or so. And engine upgrades every 10 years or so.
