What was the flying sewer cover?

Actually, they didn't. They wore something like a "doo" rag which had the rising sun on it, and inscriptions from friends and family urging them to do their duty, and wishing them luck in their flight. Perhaps the first "inadvertent" divine wind pilots had a helmet on, but the ones that went out on purpose did not. And they did not have 'chutes either.

How much do rides on F-16s cost?

i must have answered this question a dozen times now. The kamikaze's didn't wear a helmet they wore a skull cap that held the ear phones for the radio in the cap. The radio was necessary as the kamikaze pilots had very few flying hours and no navigation skills. Thus a seasoned pilot would escort the kamikazes to the target and go home once the kamikazes could see the fleet. The radio being needed to shepard all these newbie pilots.
