Well thanks again for findng these informative clips. After trailing through the 1960’s/Vietnam era clips, I found the underwater ejection ones very informative.
As a fellow Flight Gear/Survival Equipment devotee, why, in your opinion, was the underarm method of life preserver favoured by the USAF/US Navy?

Nice to see that your Cockpitfest went well.
Those video clips are very good – especially the U2 Pilot getting suited up, great archive footage thanks for posting.
