Heads up "Rich Boy's Toys – Jets" Ch 5 Mon night

The best use of the ejection seat has to be Mr Beachy-Heads proposal to his fiance while flying her around in the Hunter, ‘marry me or I’ll eject you!’:diablo: .

Most guys won’t discuss premature ejection on TV. 😮

With regards to the bone dome and ejection sequence, as stated in the film even though the seats are ‘live’ due to their age the sequence is not always guarenteed to work properly.

Something I find hard to believe as these seats surely must come under regulations ensuring their proper airworthyness but hey thats what they said:confused: .

If I was in his position then the wearing of a flying helmet would be essential as if an ejection sequence had to be initiated the helmet would be an essential part of life preservation, not only that if the pupil made any rash moves in the jet your head could contact the canopy with enough force to render you unconcious.

Any one reconise Steve Patterson (L39). Sure I have seen him on the forum before.

I`d give anything for a ride in that Lighting, well, one day maybe:)

The touch and go he performed for the camera was more of a ‘hop, skip and a jump’ sort of motion:eek: .

John – the MiG, I think, was one of several warbirds operated for training and, seeing that landing, I concluded a trainee was in control??

Roger Smith.

Suprised the MiG pilot wasn’t wearing a bone dome. He mentioned Russian ejector seats – what would be his chances of survival with his skull breaking through the canopy? or is the MiG 15 ejection sequence slow enough to allow ejection of canopy first?

Other interesting comment about bang-seats was from Mr. Kutz(?) comparing the thought processes of a military-trained pilot with non military-trained. He seemed to suggest that nearly all private military jet fatalaties were from the latter category because they maybe lacked the instantaneous reaction to eject.
