Great, our next generation of pilots will now look like arthropods.

That helmet cam/display system is hideous! However, it will be sure to strike fear in any enemy who sees photos of the pilots in propoganda leaflets that rain down pre-bombing.

Yeah, and if you get shot down the JSF will come standard with wasp stinger and wings flight suit add-ons (batteries not included) as an added psychological deterrent to enemy ground forces

Yoooo, if you can't pick up chicks at the club with that thing, you are in bad shape. Chicks love big helmets.

556, Prowler Ball, No Helmet . . . :D

:icon_tong I can see it know. Those guys will be declaring emergencies just like the HUD cripples. My favorite of all time is a CAVU Case 1 recovery with some Hornet Noob calling emergency becuase he has no HUD. What the really big attitude lines (read: the actual horizon) won't tell you which way is up? :icon_tong

Some folks will try anything for LSO sympathy (in grading). Of course, HUD is critcial to Hornet Top Ten performance

Two things-

1) The Helmet is GOUGE! Once you fly with it, there's absolutely NO going back! You are simply one LETHAL MoFo with the Helmet.

2) HUD in Hornet is Primary Attitude Indicator, but no one should PULE during daytime ops if it ain't there. Nighttime, totally different story!
