Test footage of "zero-zero" ejection seats:
One of the serious concerns about ejection seats is the real possibility of serious spinal injuries from using them. Above 350kts, there are other forces that can badly injure an ejecting pilots, such as wind blast and wind-induced drag.
On the other hand, it might be better to be a quite a bit messed up than somewhat dead.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
I got to ride in a T-38 out of Randolph AFB back in 89. The only thing about ejection seat training that I recall is the pilot, if we needed to, would call out eject, eject, eject. I had to be gone by the second one, cause he was leaving on the third.
