 "I
am a Marine helicopter pilot at Quantico, Va....I just
wanted
to say ‘thank you.’ The first day I used my helmet
(with Oregon Aero® Aviation Helmet Upgrade components),
I flew over five hours. With my old helmet liner I would have
been assured of deep red marks on my forehead, circles around
my ears, and a nagging headache. After using your helmet and
Ear Cup liners, I was surprised to find no red marks or nagging
headache. Also the comfort and fit of your products cut out
outside noise much better than before. I...am still passing
round the good word about your products."
— Major A.J.G., Ground Safety Officer HMX-1
With
Oregon Aero upgrades, pilots of fixed wing fighters report
reducing their audio output setting from 90-95% to a new average
setting of 35-45%, with significantly improved comprehension.
— North Dakota Air National Guard, Oregon Air National
Guard, and others
"The
installation of your kit (for an SPH-4®* helmet) greatly
decreased the amount of outside noise. This allowed me to decrease
the ICS volume for the first time."
— R.R., flight paramedic
"After
the first flight with your ‘HushKit®’ in my SPH-5®*
helmet, I knew I’d never go back to the original equipment.
I’ve been able to turn the radio/intercom volume down
by at least 25% and get better audio clarity. The SoftSeal®
ear pieces felt great even after a three-hour flight."
— J.M., flight medic
"Over
the past 15 years I have flown over 30 different fixed and
rotary
wing aircraft across the spectrum of Combat to Developmental
Test and Evaluation. The single biggest operational enhancement
I have personally experienced is the Oregon Aero® ZetaLiner®
Helmet Liner.
 |
| The
Oregon Aero ZetaLiner™ Helmet Liner |
The ZetaLiner® Helmet Liner instantly eliminates the helmet
induced fatigue, qualifying it as a ‘Combat Enhancement’.
The
fatigue associated with tactical NVG evolutions is primarily
(caused by) a poorly fitting helmet.
Two
additional Oregon Aero products are notable, the SoftSeal®
Ear Cushions and SoftSeat®
Cushion. The...cushions contribute significantly to managing
fatigue and ensuring a consistently tailored fit each time
you
strap on an aircraft. I recommend the ZetaLiner® (Helmet
Liner) to anyone required to operate in a high workload environment
wearing
a helmet, especially if NVD’s are also required. It will
make a believer out of you immediately."
— D.A., AH-1W WTI/ETP
"I
have just finished the installation of this kit (SoftSeal/HushKit®
Combo) on my HGU-55P helmet. My feedback to you: SUPERB!"

| Coast-to-Coast
with Oregon Aero |
Severe
thunderstorms in Florida during the summer of 2003 delayed
Skip Aldous from taking off for Spokane, WA. Skip, opposing
solo for the Lima Lima Flight Team, was scheduled to meet
his fellow pilots of the world-renowned aerobatic formation
team in Spokane for an air show. Having to depart 24 hours
later, it was obvious that to arrive in time for the first
show, he would have to fly straight through—six legs
and more than 14 hours.
 "I
flew my T-34 from one corner of the country to the other,
and arrived pain-free and ready to perform because of
my Oregon Aero Complete Aviation Helmet Upgrade and portable
seat cushion," said Skip. "At no time did my
helmet start to hurt my head or did my rear go numb, and
when I landed in Spokane, I found that I could still walk.
I KNOW I couldn’t have done it without Oregon Aero."
All of the Lima Lima Flight Team's
pilots use Oregon Aero helmet upgrades and portable seat
cushions to help them perform their best. They also use
our Shock-Absorbing Shoe Inserts in their footwear for
additional comfort in the air and on the ground. |

| "Oregon
Aero ear seals and helmet liners make my flights more comfortable
and enjoyable. When I tried on Oregon Aero’s helmet liner
I threw my old one away on the spot and have stayed with Oregon
Aero ever since." — Greg Poe, Professional Airshow

Oregon
Aero Brings Important Benefits To
Helmet-Mounted Cueing System Project |
 |
 |
Pilots have a stable, comfortable and quieter helmet along with cutting
edge technology, thanks to Oregon Aero’s contributions to the
U.S. Air Force and Navy’s Joint Helmet-Mounted Cueing System project.
The helmet’s computer electronics cueing system enables pilots
to target objects outside of their normal visual range.
In order to perform effectively, the helmet must be stable and not move
as the pilot’s head moves. Oregon Aero provided not only stability
to the helmet but also comfort, noise reduction, a lighter weight helmet
system, and a helmet that can be modified to fit in minutes.
The new helmet and Oregon Aero’s equipment continue to be tested at
the Naval Air Warfare Center at China Lake, California.

Pilots
give glowing evaluations of Oregon Aero’s
improvements to the Joint Helmet-Mounted Cueing
System project:
|
 |
- " Incredible sweat absorption properties…the
wicking properties of the ZetaLiner® Helmet
Liner eliminated nearly all sweat beads from rolling
into my eyes under G’s."
- "The extraneous noise damping properties of the
ear cups were incredible."
- "I could tell my (helmet) shell was not sliding
around my head as I cranked my neck around to check six
like it usually does."
- "Quick and easy installation/modification time.
My PR learned in one hour how to do the mod and completed
one on his own in 15 minutes from start to finish."
- "The Oregon Aero® ZetaLiner® Helmet
Liner Ear Cups may be one of the best ‘finds’ of
this program."
- "I am not feeling the weight at all, not feeling
a tug trying to rotate my head….I don’t even
notice it’s on (during high performance, high-G
maneuvers)."
- "I experienced no fatigue, neck pain, loss of
mobility, or change in G-tolerance while wearing the
helmet."
- "Voice warnings were much louder and clearer,
and the aircraft was much quieter. All this…and
less weight, too."
