    Need a little help, USAF Air-To-Air Refueling!

    The only one I'd need rapid access to would be Red. We use that for emergencies aka "Breakaway" where we literally need the Helo/Osprey to just peace out asap for safety reasons. Other than that I have a few seconds to cycle through a selector ring or whatever. In a perfect world, I'd be...

    Need a little help, USAF Air-To-Air Refueling!

    True, if the equipment is military owns it and a member uses it, like a weapon, body armor, chemical warfare protection suits etc. However, in the case of simple tools like a flashlight, if I feel the need to spend my own dime I'm more than allowed to. Also, small tools like flashlights...

    Pilot Headset mounted, NVG Compatible... etc

    Most guys use a lip light, which is great for seeing stuff less than a foot from your face. It clips onto the boom mic on our headsets.

    Pilot Headset mounted, NVG Compatible... etc

    I checked both of those out, I think the surefire would work, but may be a little bright for my needs. The princeton tec point looks to me like it wouldn't hold up well with the flexi arm. I'll do a little more research though, were getting close. Ran into one of these at Home Depot today...

    Pilot Headset mounted, NVG Compatible... etc

    A surefire helmet light would be awesome, by I wouldn't have the slightest idea on how to mount it, or make it aimable.

    Pilot Headset mounted, NVG Compatible... etc

    Hello all, I'm looking for a very specific type of light and I thought the community here at CPF might be able to help. Requirements: Small & Light Single AAA battery or likewise. Basically, no Coin cells. NVG compatibility - Blue or Green output is a MUST. It can be green or blue ONLY, white...
