JHMCS Training Flight in F/A-18 Super Hornet - Ride Along - Unedited Raw Footage

The Joint Helmet Mounting Cueing System (JHMCS) projects symbology and targeting information on the aircrew's visor to improve combat efficiency and situational awareness. In this video we run through a series of drills to improve our proficiency with utilizing the JHMCs while simultaneously maneuvering the aircraft.
*This video has been vetted for sensitive information. Enjoy!

    Alex... Yet another great "raw footage" video... Love them best. We all see your flying skill, attention to detail. Endless crosschecks and scans. Bet your back seater loves being paired up with you. Would love to hear your intercom chatter... "All right, show me some of that pilot shit". Ha. Keep your videos coming for all your fans. Fly safe brother! Randy "C-17A"

    Basically yes! The GoPro's microphone, as it's a vibing item, during G maneuvers it's pulled downwards too and because of that it's less sensible to the noise😉

    Is the JHMCS system comfortable to use? I've heard some say it's heavy and tough on the neck but that seems strange for something designed to handle high G loads.

    heavy or not it is just needed, you can target anything in your view point, control and get information as same time, like from EWR, or duplicate the flir designation , HUD symbology follow your view point and you can again replicate information of radar, on both of the 3 MIDS scren in the the FA18, FA 18 are not really high G jet, you have a FCS limitation at around 9 G or 8 i dont remember if don't use the paddle switch for desactivate it. , you can not go over this, but is allready pretty impressive . F16 or F22, can go a bit higher anyway. Great video again Alex
