Great photos Nem116!

See that female crew person on the right?(She may not be aircrew) Her helmet does not seem to fit her properly.Women's heads are somewhat smaller than mens. She needs a fighter jock helmet. I understand the need for the helo helmet for proper buffeting because of the vibration in helos.

However when I was with HC-11 we had a female pilot Ly Miklos that had a fighter helmet because no matter what we did we could not get her helmet to fit. We had to have special permission from the force commander, COMNAVAIRPAC, to gain permission for her to use that fighter helmet in an helo.

Lt Miklos was the first female helo pilot in the USN to deploy on a combatant ship. That was in '83 or '84.
