Ejection Seat Video Back before there were zero-zero ejection seats. (check this one too)
Ejecting from a jet aircraft (in flight or from the deck) is no small thing.
I know that they sell ejection seats and one day, when I’m worth a bundle, I will buy one for my man cave as a conversation piece (without the solid propellant rockets).
They've saved many a life. Sadly it took years to actually get a zero zero seat that worked. I don't recognize that one pictured! Lockheed? I know it's not an MB.
Lockheed F-104
Or… you could leave the rockets intact and make changing the bulbs in the ceiling light fixture more of an adventure!
Double check the seat before putting it in the den.
Interesting. I didn't know there were survival kits in there, but it makes sense.
OR – just put it under a skylight!
Saftey's on? You know that my grandsons would just have to pull the D-Ring.
Since I wasn't a stick and rudder man, I never had to survive on them, but I plucked a corpse and a live person (F-101 recon crew) from a bad place after they ejected and "survival" is the key word.
