#9  Somehow reminds me of the time way back in the mid-70's when I was working in construction during the Summer to pay for Architectural School when I took a piece of wide electrical tape and put it on the inside of a welder's helmet. I'm glad he never found out who did it.

#7  A welder's helmet would make the plane virtually invisible, too. You can't see nuthin out of one of them. In fact, it makes damn near everything invisible.

#1  Is it just me or does that helmet look like the Darth Vader of Porky Pigs?

Does the pilot have to turn his head the whole way around to check his six?
