Flying a fast jet with no helmet????
Hi there,
A photo surfaced in the last week or two of a US Air Force F-15 landing in Darwin, Australia, as part of a multinational exercise, and the pilot was not wearing a helmet.
As an enthusiast and model builder, I have spied many many photos of fast jets, but never seen one flown by a pilot with no helmet.
I’m wondering why this would occur?
regards

Only thing I could imagine, and even that being extreme. Some sort of dental medical emergency making wearing the helmet excruciatingly painful.
Declare emergency and reason, go NORDO, safe the seat, and remove the helmet once to a safe altitude and flight regime.
Again, all a long shot, but only explanation I can think of. If this is real. He’s not doing that for the fun of it, again, if real.
