This is a short video walk-through of the F35 helmet by Lockheed test pilot Billie Flynn. It is an amazing piece of technology

BUT, at $400k per copy, you'd better not leave it in the bar while riding home from the air base on your motorcycle.

Cool idea. Too bad its the size of a beach ball, and in the slowest, poorest turning, accelerating aircraft we’ve got in the inventory.

They are only charging the Brits $393,000.00...might be a currency exchange thing. Just don’t eject...might snap your neck (need a “HANS”?): http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3354543/posts

If it comes with a $30,000 hammer, I’ll take it!

I see no mention of 'jitter', which has plagued the development of the helmet. It has caused airsickness in some pilots.

I wonder what is worse, drowning in vomit in your mask, or having your neck snapped by anything over 4 G's.

Might be cheaper to just develop an invisible plane.
