Pentagon Gets a Fix for F-35 Bug in $400,000 Pilot Helmets..."I cannot answer on the grounds that it may incriminate me"

I'll add a shorter lifetime for the displays is a lot better than a shorter lifetime for the pilots and Program. And remember Lucas said the timeline is compressing. Lockheed has planes to sell that work as designed. Hint, it wasn't just "Green Glow."

The distracting green glow was deemed so critical that restrictions were imposed on some night landings on aircraft carriers, and the fault was classified as a "Priorirty One Fix" fix by the Pentagon’s test office. Jittery lines were also visible to some pilots.
Defense giant Lockheed Martin Corp. has been contracted by the F-35 Joint Program Office for the redesign, modifying headpieces by installing new organic light-emitting diodes to replace traditional liquid crystal displays.
