Predator-Style Helmets Allow Pilots to See Through Planes

And this isn't any Star Trek or Final Fantasy kind of trick, but the next generation of RAF fighter pilots' look, which kinda makes you wish you were in the army." And you thought Air Wolf had badass headgear.

    which kinda makes you wish you were in the army

    So you could admire the cool helmets the Air Force, Navy, and Marine pilots have?

    Help me take back Slashdot. When did 'News for Nerds' become 'FUD and Conspiracy Theories for Extremist Nutjobs'?

    Link to the original Daily Mail article: The Terminator-style helmets that allow fighter pilots to see through their planes

      Note to submitters and Slashdot editors: Don't link to blogs. They get Slashdotted.

      It's especially shiatty when a blogger doesn't even provide a link to the article he's pulling his text and images from.

      Interesting how the blogger switched the referenced Schwarzenegger character of choice from The Terminator to the Predator in his 'article' to make it appear as original content.

    If Civilization has taught me nothing, it's that you should always upgrade your military technology as much as possible, even when you don't seem to need it. Also, Gandhi is a huge jerk.

    Because it's really not a FA at all... It's a blog that links to an article. Would it kill the editors to actually link to a story, instead of just bump up joehaveablog's hit counter?
