Great job, most times fighter pilots have no choice but to eject.

I saw an A-4 pilot eject AFTER he touched down. There were circumstances, but still.

Lucky, professional Pilot!... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!
...a good example of why my typical low-altitude, 800'-1000' AGL GA Piston Prop, Sim flights are not a good idea, and could turn into a disaster when a problem suddenly rears its ugly head without warning, surrounded by unsuitable terrain below!... ...!
High altitude gives more time to figure out a suitable landing area...(I must keep reminding myself......)!
