Rent-A-Cop posted:I mean, does the back-seater really need to see anything? Just replace fan with chair, problem solved. Israel actually uses the 2nd seat as a copilot so the guy in back actually flies sometimes. As opposed to the expected use case for the F-15B/D and F-16B/D which was that the guy in back would only fly after screaming "oh god MY AIRPLANE MY AIRPLANE" when the student pilot in the front seat hosed up.

The instructor always sits in the back seat so he can smack the student on the head to get his attention if needed.

Rent-A-Cop posted:Wasn't the takeaway from the whole VR helmet thing on the f-35 program that it would be totally awesome if it didn't make the pilot violently ill? I think the big issue was strapping a bunch of weight on a pilots head is not healthy under high g loads. High g-loads include carrier takeoff and landing.

Late for A-10 chat and I'm not sure I want to kick it off again, but... Wasn't the whole fleet expected to be expended in 6 days vs. the finest late '70s tech?

Going by how the Gatwick drones seem to be heavily modified, I have a feeling they were created by a guy with a strong vendetta against the airport, killdozer style
