Great work Terry! 

Ongoing feedback:

Regarding the visibility within the F-35(soruce:http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2013/03/06/f35-report-leaked.html)

"The head rest is too large and will impede aft [rear] visibility and survivability during surface and air engagements," one test pilot was quoted as saying in the U.S. Defence Department's directorate of operational test and evaluation report. A second pilot reportedly said visibility is crucial and any disruption "will get the pilot gunned" down in dogfights.
