African Eagle
Wouldn't listen to Ye olde pilot he obviously is an idiot. I could give you the e mail addresses of 2 pilots who, had they been wearing a helmet would still have their flying licences and their health. Both pilots involved in crashes, both severe head injuries from the plexi glass, one in a coma for 3 weeks, 3 years later still cant walk properly and has trouble doing everyday things, now if that is being a poser well I would prefer to be a poser than being permanently disabled for life.
I have worn a helmet for 20 years and 7000 hours, still have perfect hearing, in fact AME says I have the best hearing of any pilot of my age he sees and that includes the fixed wing boys
