“They were right about that fatigue limit”
If the aircraft was controllable and handled OK in the landing configuration, and maybe could be “chased” down by another aircraft, I wouldn’t expect the pilot to eject. After all that’s what “we” pay, and they train for – to “keep cool”. 😎
Probably had “plenty” of height after the air combat to sort things out. I think the pilot trusted the seat would work, so he could get out in the last split second, if anything more turned bad.
Best regards

Dear Messrs McDonnell & Douglas
Please find enclosed the Hornet I purchased from your shop last week.
I didn’t see the lady put it in the bag, but when I got home it looked like this. I haven’t used it – honest, and I’m sure it is not supposed to look like this.
As it is no good to me like this, please would you be so kind as to refund me my $10m. I think I will use the money to dig up a nice vintage propeller aircraft from the ice.
Thank you in advance for your kindness.
Mr Schoffner
