Boo!!!

You can't see me but I can see you! New Pilot Helmet for F-35 Pilot. Pilot "sees" right thru plane with aid of external cameras. Looks, sights, fires and is gone before enemy even picks him up. "SPLASH 1" Informed sources put the cost of the helmet at $425,000.

A $191,000,000 Aircraft deserves a bit of head muscle!

Above all, save the helmet!!

Re: Boo!!!

With the steering wheel in an F1 car costing $40,000+ it is no surprise that the men (and women) serving our country could justify a $400,000 helmet, cool stuff
