I mean really, outside of the Flight Suit, the hottest thing going for your properly decked out "Fighter Jock" is his (and it's hot on "her" too) helmet! Remember "Mav"? Well hell, Topgun would have had a whole different look to it with this thing....
Or the Blues "Cool Dude" dome cover...
probably more like something... well like this...
Oh sure... the technology is probably stellar (I mean being able to see through the floor is pretty damn cool...)! But damn it... we're talking fighter pilot's egos here! One must realize how fragile these guys can be. Now the "Attack Guys" they probably have no problem at all with these helmets, after all Attack Guys had charm and character to fall back on.
But with Today's F/A community where the communities have blurred, and the Gemini (duality of man) nature of things it will be a tough fashion trend to cope with... I guess the rearview mirrors on the canopy rails will be focused outside the cockpit from here on out.
