HeavyArty Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Just saw these new pilots' side shields on a recent HH-60G pic. The armored glass shields are pretty interesting. Similar to the gunshields w/windows on vehicles. Floyd, think yo could make these? Edited October 21, 2019 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Interesting.... Assume they are ballistic glass. Wonder if this is an AF thing or if the Army is doing the same thing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clinstone Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 The AF has had them since at least 2015. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 The AF has had them since at least 2015. Are you guys getting these or is it an AF specific mod? Any idea what the advantage is? Better protection or better visibility to the side when they are deployed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 The 160th uses them also. I've not seen them used on regular army birds though. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Better protection or better visibility to the side when they are deployed? As far as I know its for sideward visibility when extended. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
