F-35B/C Lightning II (Joint Strike Fighter)

At least a long time ago when I last saw numbers, the USMC is/was actually going to be flying more F-35s than the Navy (combining B and C variants). Which is crazy to me.

F-35 lost due to spatial disorientation...

Does F-35 have a traditional EFIS type ADI/AI? How do you guys know where the horizon is relative to FP? Is it all incorporated in the wonder helmet / visor?

The helmet is the HUD. You can put up an EFI on the glass with a single HOTAS button press if need be. There’s also a standby beneath the main displays that’s always on.
