Army pilot equipment question
Hello any army pilots out there, here's a question for you:
Recent articles in aviation mags show RAAF crew wearing what I think is an Alpha Helmet (lime green with black visor cover) but a photo in same mag of army S-70 crew shows the army drivers wearing what appears to be an HGU-56 helmet.
Can any army pilots confirm the army-issue helmet on all helos is now the HGU-56?
I think the AJs used to wear the Alpha also; if so anyone want to comment on the relative pros and cons of the two?
I realise this might be seen as nerd-material - please indulge me with sensible replies!!!!!
