[HeyJoe]

The Black Lions have received the first F/A-18F with JHMCS in both cockpits.

Big learning curve? I'd imagine once you get used to it that it'd be an amazing help, but I couldn't imagine going from gauges and a HUD to that helmet (not that I can imagine a HUD either, but I'll try:icon_tong)

They have AESA birds too don't they? That'll make for a lethal group.

I think I remember one of the Rhino guys on here saying its something like 20-25 hours for one to get really comfortable with the JHMCS. I wonder what kind of learning curve they will see when they start taking guys straight from T-45's to the F-35.

Learning curve? But the T-45A is soooo sophisticated!

Yes and yes.

Should they ever actually go anywhere.......

Or face a credible air threat.

The Black Lions .... first to receive dual cockpit JHMCS ....

Huh. Those bastards.

That will make them even "more" dangerous ... as they didn't need JHMCS at the 'O Club when one of them slapped Trophy Wife (then Trophy Girl Friend) on the butt with one of these .... it made Trophy's night, however.
