Flight helmet

Flight helmets were headgear worn by starfighter pilots. The helmets often included a visor with a special computer projection for targeting. The helmets of pilots of the Alliance to Restore the Republic were often decorated with a red or blue Alliance Starbird, though some pilots customized them to include symbols of personal significance or emblems from specific squadrons. Their craft's life support systems negated the need for a self-contained helmet such as those used by the Empire's TIE pilots, but such masks could be attached in emergency situations. Many of the helmet designs continued to be used into the era of the New Republic and Galactic Federation of Free Alliances.
