New F-35 helmets cost £260,000 each Don't drop it then.

I just had this ‘flash’ of an image .... a low flying jet, kicking it at a couple of hundred miles an hour, right down the strip of Las Vegas ...

I don’t know about anyone else, but if situational awareness like this for a manned aircraft is that expensive, why couldn’t a higher performing aircraft be made as cheaply and linked to a remote control station?

Very cool that the helmet allows the pilot a 360 degree view so he can check blindspots though. That should definitely be a bonus.
