Terminator is winning

Ah, crap. Crazy limeys are really going all out with this life imitating bad art trend evidenced in the last post. Apparently the helmets for the F-35 pilots will allow them to see through the fuselage of the plane and survey the ground directly below the aircraft. Quote from the article (it’s really only a blurb):

A Ministry of Defence spokesman said: “It even will superimpose infra-red imagery on to the visor to allow the pilot to look through the cockpit floor at night and see the world below – like something out of Terminator.”

I assume the feature creep on the development of the F-35 will lead to allowing the planes to fly with laser guns permanently switched on. Because that’s awesome.

Thanks, J.
