Hey, that sounds kinda spiffy. Maybe they can play head-to-head Pong
on the MFDs during long transits too.

That's the funniest thing I've read here in a while.

On a related note, the FLIR kits in the H-60 helos deployed on small
boys includes a VCR. Whatever the FLIR is looking at gets sent down
the datalink to the ship in real time, so everybody can watch it down
there. If the VCR is playing a tape, that gets sent instead. You
can fill in the blanks on the possibilities.
