It is interesting that such tablets are still used today, despite modern electronic devices. Often a military aircraft, be it a fighter or an attack aircraft, is controlled by one pilot and it is simply inconvenient for him to enter data into an electronic tablet.
It is easier for the pilot to sketch out by hand the data he needs to complete the mission. It is often difficult to remember some coordinates, frequencies, call signs or other data included during a flight, so pilots use simple pens and pencils.
