Amazing stuff! It's a $400,000 helmet from what I've read.

My thoughts too.

Indeed.
Good to see your presence, Peter.
I sure miss our online flying randevú's
Why, I'd trade one of those fancy bone domes for you any day!

You wouldn't want to lose yours:

It's arguably the most expensive and technically complex piece of headgear ever produced and before any Royal Australian Air Force pilot steps into the cockpit of the new F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) jet, they will need to be fitted with a custom-made $770,000 flight helmet.

With the Australian government committed to purchasing 72 of the controversial fighters at a cost of $12.4 billion, the bill for these smart helmets alone could exceed $55 million.

I'm pretty sure they could have adapted a TrackIR for much less

In the U.K. they probably will.

Here's me being confused again:
When I posted, I'm sure there were no other responses. Now there are heaps ahead of me. Maybe mine was moved down the sequence on account of local times, 28th for most, and mine being 29th? I don't know how these things work.
Anyhow, you're quite right, Brian, your US$400,000 is our AU$700+
