Royal Air Force To Get X-Wing Style Helmets


"Luke, you switched off your targeting computer. What's wrong?"


The British Ministry of Defense has revealed that RAF fighter pilots are being outfitted with X-Wing styled helmets for the F35 Joint Strike Fighter, their lauded next-gen jet fighter.

Slick.
