I hate having a visor that isn't cut just perfectly and allows light between the visor and the mask. I guess those of us looking out of the aircraft more probably care more.
Doesn’t the helmet project onto the mask as well? Or did I see that in a sci-fi movie?
This is all allegedly part of the JHMCS fit as well, though I'm sure LM has convinced the USG that this is all necessary - lasers, etc.I maintain that the ridiculous amount of time required to cut a JHMCS visor could be reduced by a factor of 10. I just don't see the need for that level of precision at the bottom of the visor.
Pretty sure H-1 upgrades OTO helmets made by Thales are laser scanned as well. However we definitely don't need that shit.
Safe returns @mad dog and @ChuckMK23. Keep clear of the snow on your drive north. Great reports on the trip.
That night landing...nope! Stick to my heavies on a fixed runway, y’all can keep that glory for yourselves...
Dang! No Hooters chicks were available for a pic in Birmingham, AL...so @Jim123
will have to do.
It was great to finally meet you, Jim...thanks for meeting up with us!
Also, it was a pretty incredible F-35 tour that we received from @Python1287 today...thanks a ton, sir!

As @webmaster always says, AW is about connecting us as a community. Behind the avatars and usernames are real people who for the most part are like minded, share a common experience and are a great resource to help and support such other. I’ll end the sappy comments here. But it’s always a pleasure meeting you guys in person.
Ok you can go back to snarky comments now after we’ve (virtually) hugged it out!

Let’s just say I was less than impressed at student bar access during my second trip through the TRACOM. The single anchor side seems to have a much better handle on how not to be douchey about such things, at least in my (somewhat dated) experience.Yeah in -6 we have a bar (named the "Wormhole" for a -6 IP, callsign Worm, who perished in an accident in the late 2000s). Gets used pretty regularly for tie cuttings and selections as Chuck mentioned. And don't worry, students are not only welcome but we'll say highly encouraged to bringtributebeer
It was a pleasure to meet you and show you guys around. If any other AWs in the NPA NSE NDZ, even NMM areas want to check out the new jet, PM and I’ll arrange it so I can show you around.
Correct...I did 99% of the driving regarding my '07 Ford P71...the other 1% pictured below.
