F-15 accidental ejection on the ground
- Thread starter Devildoc
- Start date
They let the intrusive thoughts win, and I am here for it.
Little background, it was a recruiter getting an incentive ride, ejected, no injuries. Hilarious.
I am giving myself +4 because there are about 15 jokes I could make and I didn't.
How hard is it? Not that hard. ACES II seat in that bad boy, side handles and face curtain handles. Only need to pull one, and as long as the selector is set to "AFT SOLO", you bounce on your own.
Now do you actually have to try? Yes. 100%. And the pilot 100% gave a brief (probable AFE too) on "See the bright yellow and black? No. Touchy."
AHhahahaha, valid. +1.

A great clip from that great comedy (I loved it...) 1941. Start around 5:40..."Do NOT pull this hand-operated lever to the rear...do NOT push the clip of ammunition down into the feed rollers here..." etc.

I can easily picture them being a little uncomfortable or trying to get a better view of thew world or maybe being dumb enough to think they can move their seat. What do you do then? You grab something for leverage and use it to haul yourself into position. Only this guy's position is a spine-shrinking rocket ride marking the last incentive flight in that squadron.
My guess, the pax wanted to look at something or adjust their seating and grabbed a "handhold".
Happened before, will happen again.
Had a Wing Commander going from Guam to Clark AB, Loadmaster gave the standard brief to include just pull the tab on the life preserver to activate it; at which point he did just that.
Life support was not amused.
Imagine all of the asses you kissed and dicks you sucked to get an incentive flight, only to not even make it off the taxiway. And become a meme. AND cause a Class whatever accident investigation. AND do the walk of shame into your office the next day.
And knowing you are the reason for the weekend's safety brief. The list can go on and on.
But all of those dicks for nothing?
