Now THIS is a fighter pilot's helmet!!

 The Task and Purpose website has the story.

Montgomery based air national guard personnel will be using the helmets when a squadron of F-35's arrive in Alabama in 2023.

 

The helmets alone cost more than a new Ferrari. 

"The F-35 helmet is a technological marvel. It can display night vision, thermal imagery and video from below the jet, letting pilots effectively see through the airframe and track targets without having to look back and forth from their cockpit screens.

“The pilot can look down through a portion of their wing and see what’s below,” said Tech. Sgt. William Vass of the 419th OSS. “When they look toward the cameras embedded on the F-35, that image projects onto their helmet display.”
