Anyway...

Liking this thread and the series but a few of questions if I may.

I noticed in the F-35B hover the pilot was struggling to look over the cockpit sill at the landing spot and yet they mentioned earlier the helmet enabled then to view through the fuselage - did they forget about looking straight down?

I've not seen any evidence of simulators being used on the T2 or F-35 training - both of which I believe have extensive facilities or am I wrong?

Is it better to keep the head level with the horizon or the wings in turning flight?
