    Back in 1988, I remember attending the Hamilton, Ontario air show where a Marine VMAQ-2 EA-6B Prowler was on display. I asked the pilot why the yellow box under the “Rescue” arrow was all taped over and he responded that at a previous air show that summer, someone had managed to pull the rescue cord/button and jettisoned both (gold plated) canopies! Just incredible!
