USAF Aggressor HGU-2 Pilot Helmet

This shirt features a USAF Aggressor helmet made by PFH.

During the 1970s, the U.S. Air Force introduced dedicated Aggressor squadrons at Nellis Air Force Base to provide American fighter pilots with realistic air-to-air combat training. Flying the agile F-5E Tiger II in distinctive foreign-inspired camouflage and markings, Aggressor pilots replicated the tactics and performance characteristics of potential adversaries. Their training became an important part of exercises such as Red Flag and helped transform the way U.S. fighter crews prepared for aerial combat.
