Here's pretty much what my C 130 "H" looked like.

Yeah that's a Herc.
Mine was pretty up to date for 1990.
Though my panel didn't have that much glass.
I had the one radar screen. My navigator had all the navigational equipment.
Though I did have and ADF and a VOR/ILS Glideslope indicator.

I hate to admit that I only understand the first 3 lines of that post.
The accident I saw was a few years ago when a propeller broke off midflight and entered the fuselage of the plane and injured 9 passengers. It was an Israeli air force plane and it safely landed at a small airport north of tel aviv.

ADF is great! We use it to get sports scores all the time on the KC-10

Nothing like an AM radio for navigation AND talk radio, sports and news.

Gotta love ADF! My wife used to teach Air Force technicians how to fix that beast-the ARN-6 in fact-in the Herc. Not much in terms of radio technology, but a great way to learn how antennas work...
I got a good "talking to" once when I innocently asked about the "extra levers in the Herc's throtle quadrant." "Those are NOT throtles; they're "power control levers. The Herc manages both throtle and prop pitch automatically, so you just select how much power to apply." Really stern-I got the impression that pilots learning the -130 got smacked when they called 'em "throtles."
And I saw quite a show with a Herc once-the aircraft did a LOT of circles over Biloxi's Back Bay, dumping fuel, and then came in on the main runway. Keesler's main runway is pretty darn short, but fine for -130s. The pilot AEROBRAKED the thing and used just over half the runway...and the reason was that #3 wasn't turning-and wasn't even feathered-it just STOPPED. When the aircraft slowed down enough, it dropped onto the nose wheel (not softly) and then braked to a stop. Before it stopped, the cargo ramp dropped, the side doors opened, and a BUNCH of aircrew flooded out! The aircraft stopped almost exactly at the same time as the emergency vehicles got to it. Pretty impressive for no fire!

Yes they do adjust the pitch automatically, but you can apply power or pitch independently.
I haven't piloted a Herc in, 10 years? Geez. 10 years.

Sky Captain, do you prefer steam or glass? The latter looks "cooler" to armchair aviation fans like myself, but the pilots I've come across prefer the old-school setup.
I guess with some of the new glass cockpits, the pilot can configure the screens to look just like their old gauges used to... If their company doesn't demand standardization, that is.

You get used to the glass.
In fact it'll make you complacent.
I'm a steam gauge pilot myself. And needles for approach.
The CRJ has a GPS for approach coupled to an indicator.
The ATR I fly has a Northstar™ GPS coupled to an indicator but no moving map.
The old ILS radio reciever just feels more accurate.
Ugh I have a late afternoon flight to Florida. IFR approaches both ways.
20MPH winds on departure and gusting 21 in Tampa on departure there.
It's gonna be a bumpy ride folks.

We have faith in you, Cap! If anyone can, you can!
In the meantime, here's a VERY interesting article from Plane & Pilot that talks about the Cirrus SR22 (Cory Lidle was in a Cirrus SR20) and the difference between gauges and glass.
Here's a snip from, "Learning To Fly In A Cirrus SR22: Is the best-selling aircraft appropriate for student pilots?"
As with anything, practice makes perfect. With each flight, I became more and more comfortable. I stopped relying on the backup round gauges and I flipped through pages on the MFD with ease, while remembering to “look outside!” The rush of information slowed down, and even the time in the pattern magically lengthened. Suddenly, I didn’t feel hurried on downwind with the before-landing checklist. I flicked the trim, and controlled the plane. Most importantly, I learned to think fast and pay attention to details. A moment’s inattentiveness in a 172 may escape consequence, but in the SR22, that’s less likely.

Striker: Lets not kid each other _Kramer_ you know I've never flown a bucket like this. I'm gonna need all the luck there is.
Kramer : Standby Striker. Our one hope is to build this man up, I've got to give him all the confidence I can. Striker- have you ever flown a multi-engine plane before?
Striker: NO, never.
Kramer : ( TO McCrosky thinking that the radio to Striker is off)
SH*T! This is a God damned waste of time, there's no way he can land that plane.
MCrosky: (Radio is still on) Grab ahold of yourself, you gotta
talk him down, you gotta.

Enjoy.
Considering thsoe magazines are basically advertisment articles mostly.
Too many have purchased an aircraft with the MFD and had it fail in IMC.
And have lost their steam gauge skills. And died.
My Beech is a steam gauge bird. I'm proficent with both.
Here is another take on having the Cirrus as "first plane"
