So the Air Force Falcons may be rolling with their stylin' new headgear on Saturday. Here are a couple of quick primers so you'll know the back stories:
So what's the big deal about an F-35A helmet, you ask? Well, at $400k a pop, quite a lot it appears:

I'm no expert, but that oxygen mask is going to fuck up the cadence.

The F-35 is a giant waste of money. As a rule, the jack of all trades is a master at none of them. And this fits the F-35 perfectly... I'd rather the gov't money on aircraft tailored to what each service needs, not a generic trade-off.
But the helmets look sweet!

Bring back the F-15!! (My favorite jet/air superiority fighter as a kid...and still).

You cannot land weapons on an F/A-22. They won't guide on the platform. F/A-22 supercruises. Almost nothing can defeat that machine and it has the legs to get where we need it. If we're smart, we'll re-open the F/A-22 production line and implement some performance upgrades at manufacture.

Never happen, but sucked that it had to be sacrificed to the "Perform showy actions against a defense program" gods.
