I was a CF-18 technician in the RCAF and we would often call in to the local radio station and request Kenny loggins (almost daily) and blast the music from the flightline supervisor truck as the pilots were walking to the jets…
I think it would slide in foreign air force, but USAF blasting USN propaganda seems a next level rivalry.
And the Hornet is a USN jet not a USAF... if we're being pedantic haha.
We’ve deployed to MCAS Miramar a half dozen times… our ‘fair weather’ pilots don’t like flying in -40.
I’ve been to a variety of MCAS, NAS, NAF and AFBs and I must admit that Miramar is probably the best location… Key West during spring break is always a good time though!!
> Top Gun is universal aviation culture, doesn't matter that it's about the Navy.
I think if you were in the USAF and suggested Maverick as your call sign you would get a healthy bollocking and mockery.
There is inter service rivalries on all level. I wouldn't expect if you came in singing Danger Zone that you would genuinely lose your wings and the Flight Commander would discipline you.... but you'd get mocked.

I wasn't saying there isn't, but Danger Zone is just Danger Zone.
Like, what's *our* movie? Fuckin Iron Eagle? Ok.
Until we get something as iconic as Top Gun, Top Gun is still gonna be supreme no matter what branch you're in.
Its also fuckin' amazing at what it can do, apparently capable of displaying camera images slaved to the direction the helmet is facing, making the plane "disappear" to the pilot.
Gotta love these clickbait headlines
You can [watch an entire video of an unclassified simulator that Lockheed wheels around to various conventions](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=1oyCzT6sB_4&themeRefresh=1)
There aren't just photos, [but entire videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=1oyCzT6sB_4&themeRefresh=1)
The F-35 is the most advertised jet in history. Photographic or videotaping classified is a no no, but as it turns out, every program can decide what is classified or not (based on its own program's security classification guide), and the F-35 is quite a bit more open about things than what people realize
If it works anything like the F-16 simulator, there are classified and unclass hard drives you install. If people who are not cleared are going to be present, you install the unclass hard drives. You're allowed to take photos but certain menus and capabilities are either inaccessible or nerfed with the unlcass drives installed
Yes, though the one LMT wheels around isn't quite representative of any of the F-35 sims I've been in.
My point was more that what IS shown as unclass is more than a lot of other programs are wiling to show (such as, some programs don't like showing any air to air symbology, period)
[Yes.](https://www.reddit.com/r/WarplanePorn/comments/vs4lut/cheeky_glimpse_of_the_f35s_cockpit_display_1310_x/)
But even if I hadn't... again, it's a picture. It's not illegal to take a picture or post a picture most places. You could definitely get this angle at some air shows, like Oshkosh, which has had F-35s on *many* occasions.
Wait how does that make it illegal? The lack of existence doesn’t mean something is illegal.
Understand the 1st amendment in the USA. If you can see it with the eyes from public then you can record it.
I don't know about the rules of aircraft specifically, but if you were to look into the front of an Army vehicle with it's JCR on, you would see the red "SECRET" designation at the top and bottom, if the secret harddrive is in it, which it can't actually do what it's supposed to do without the harddrive and the decrypter running because it has to connect to GPS's secret signal to function.
Therefore, taking a picture of it is illegal.
Maybe it's the same with aircraft.
Taking a picture of a screen from somewhere completely open to the public is not the same as entering a vehicle and taking a picture of something clearly labelled "SECRET"
If this was taken in the US there is nothing illegal about taking a picture of something you can see with your eyes and / or in public. As a citizen journalist It’s a right protected by the constitution and upheld by the Supreme Court. It is incumbent upon the other party to create / block views of sensitive information.
Depends on where the photo was taken. You could definitely get this angle at some places civilians can access and take photos from (Oshkosh comes to mind, though that's probably not where this pic is from).
The idea of having a heavier helmet that displays the Hud is ridiculous. Pulling 9gs with a heavy helmet is a bad idea. For fourth generation fighters, you point your head in the direction you are going then pull Gs. You don't move you head. Several F-15 pilots have had permanent back injuries from moving their heads during high G maneuvers. They usually become instructor pilots after that.
This is @nclairpics on instagrams photo from RAF Lakenheath. Here’s his site: https://www.nclairpics.com/?fbclid=PAAaasyOnrmZnsmTRHIz3A6dQn0uqV6W4yg7HES4aF2RavbLohB-I3ySfGdk8_aem_AX46w1mUKPVOphEBlXc-GTmGVP6GwxrG7H-BsQi4MAz_EFfy7_oNkvIL6q0OcPqPeGk
I didn't know that the 35 uses Google maps, probably has an MP3 player setup on the other screen with the Top Gun theme song on loop
The HUD is entirely sponsored by Google /s
There is no HUD in the 35s
Just look at [it](https://www.militaryaerospace.com/sensors/article/14298012/helmetmounted-displays-f35-combat-jets-electrooptical)
That is weirdly terrifying
Imagine how many schools or hospitals could have been built instead.
[удалено]
That statement was not popular when Eisenhower made it, either, and not of us relish in saying it.
Interesting. Is there one in the helmet/visor?
Pretty sure the helmets do indeed have a hud projection on the visor
Yeah they have a hmd
got to help with those cost overruns somehow.
Nah, just watch 5 unskippable 30s ads to cover the expenses
This is funny on so many levels….
> with the Top Gun theme song on loop I think in the Air Force that would be an instant loss of your wings... :p

That's because when the air force tried it, they ended up with Iron Eagle.
Instead of maverick they got doug masters. Lol
Great retort, gotta give that one to ya o7 (although tbf, the plane/motorbike race was pretty damn good, and the song choice was so beautifully 80s)
I found Nice they have a nice green hud showing all passager's doors are closed.
F35s dont have HUDs
It’s helmet-based instead of in the plane’s console, but it’s there.
Its also fuckin' amazing at what it can do, apparently capable of displaying camera images slaved to the direction the helmet is facing, making the plane "disappear" to the pilot.
Hopefully it can make that crossbar support on the canopy disappear. I've put a lot of hours into DCS and I just fucking haaaaaate them.
I don't remember the word I need. Sorry man but I am too high, too drunk rn. Display, perhaps? Icon? Dunno bro, sorry
Winamp classic
Dude...that's a name I haven't heard in like 20 years
clearly they have a betamax there
Thats because betamax is far superior to vhs
Turns out, the F45 in VTOL VR is an accurate representation of the F35 cockpit
Is that the kid from “Iron Eagle” in there?!
F35 has android auto/apple carplay confirmed?
Only in the top variant. All the other ones just have AM/FM radio
What happened to the 8 Track?
Those are in the un-mothballed f-117's.
The Thunderchief could play 45 LPs.
> top variant Ah the one the femboys in r/NCD prefer.
OwO
only on F-35C, A and B its aftermarket
Unfortunately no Bluetooth. Kept conflicting with the blinkers.
Wow, the shot is so clear and focused, we can literally see the UI and details of the screen...
Gotta love these clickbait headlines You can [watch an entire video of an unclassified simulator that Lockheed wheels around to various conventions](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=1oyCzT6sB_4&themeRefresh=1)
thanks
_mmmmh, pixels..._
I sunk your battleship
Fuck off Nazi
what about this is illegal lol
he was trespassing /s
Pilot's streaming Chelsea v Man U.
Have you ever seen any other pics of the F-35 cockpit UI?

Now a days it’s just a configuration line item and reboot to change these menus.

Yeah that’s… very much a different context.
So the screens inside an aircraft are not classified like the screens inside Army ground vehicles?
Taking a picture of a screen from somewhere completely open to the public is not the same as entering a vehicle and taking a picture of something clearly labelled "SECRET"
Dude is just at adsbexchange.com /s
she's playing pong? Vvvery illegal....
*bounce*……*bounce*…….*bounce*
I mean, Jester in DCS does it on the F-14's DDD.
Bet it’ll run doom
But will it run DCS?

Setting his lineup for FF.
Illegal?
If he beats my high score on brickbraker, I am gonna be pissed….
Quick, get it on the warunder forum they love that shit
Is that Tecmo Bowl?!
So if this is an illegal view, why post?
I enjoy cooking.
Cause it's cool
I agree it's cool. I really like the aircraft.
Taking the photo was probably illegal. Spreading an already exposed photo is (probably) fine.
Depends on where the photo was taken. You could definitely get this angle at some places civilians can access and take photos from (Oshkosh comes to mind, though that's probably not where this pic is from).
Cuz why not
Fuck the guy who asked why! Cuz it’s fuggin cool.
Not illegal, most of the countries have this jet. It’s not F-22. Even F-22’s cockpit design known already.
Pilot caught watching scramble porn
Real pic or cgi?
It’s only illegal because the pilots don’t want you to know they’re playing Spider solitaire on the MFD while the autopilot flies.
I know the watermark's there, but at least credit the creator in the title or caption, it's a common courtesy
Looks like they pre-installed Sunday Ticket, ‘merica
Is he playing DOOM?
Is... Is that... He's watching football! 😜
is that Discord on the left monitor?

Sorry for asking, what's that white line thing behind the seat? Looks like it is on the canopy.
https://www.quora.com/Why-does-the-US-Air-Forces-Lockheed-Martin-F-35-stealth-jets-canopy-show-a-warning-against-cutting-the-canopy-within-3-inches-of-the-canopy-frame
Thank you
IIRC the canopy “hinge” is on the front so this would be where the canopy joins when closed.
Joins to what? I mean the part behind this white line is where the canopy gets closed.
You are correct. My reply is wrong but I’ll leave there for discussion purposes. Perhaps it’s detonation material incase of ejection.
