After the lightning crash a while ago on an airshow where the pilot failed to eject, I had a look into Ejection seats, and made this screenshot having those in mind who was not so fortunate to eject. I made this shot with the most respect to all the pilots lost their lives while doing their job.


Martin Baker ejection seats saved 7297 lives up to date

Very cool edit - looks as it is part of the shot (=unedited).

A new feature on the jbiz perhaps? 

What airplane is that?!?!
Awesome shot!!!

Very nice JakesF14!

@RaptorF22, it is Kirk Olsson's  Dassault Mirage F1.

Great edit!!!

I was bluffed... I totally thought that it was all FSX. I started scratching my head thinking of all the times I crashed and couldn't eject... Great job on the editing, looks awesome!

Very, very cool. Nice job on this one.

Cracking shot, I was a seat maintainer on Sea Harriers for a short while here's a little less known bits of info on Martin Baker seats, the seats are rented from MB and only bought if used, once a pilot ejects he then gets a MB tie, due to the G-forces during an ejection most military pilots are forced to fly desks after the 3rd go (on average they lose between 5-10mm in height for every shot. On a zero height zero speed seat (mk8 onwards) from pulling the seat pan handle the seat raises to 300ft and the pilot is dangling on his chute in just under 1.5 seconds, the only exception to this is if the aircraft is above 10,000ft where the pilot stays in his seat because of the oxygen bottle.

Cool info. I never knew pilots lost height everytime they ejected.
