The state-of-the-art Gen III F-35 helmet is a significant leap in technology from its F-16 predecessor. Features include six external cameras, built-in night vision, and more balanced weight distribution. The streamlined design means fewer accessory attachments than the F-16 helmet. It also offers a custom fit, with each helmet tailored to the pilot's head courtesy of a laser-cut foam insert. The 419th Fighter Wing currently has six pilots trained to fly the F-35 Lightning II.
