Thunderbird Binaries

[C.D.Damron]

A number of sites have removed these binaries due to their size. I have
space and bandwidth to spare, so I'll host them for a while.

Ejection sequence:

Stupid question, what exacly do this image/movie show? I see it's an
ejection from plane, but what's the story - i.e. some excident while
traning etc?

I'm sorry, this was a crash during a Thunderbird airshow in September.

Anyone know who took the picture, and why it was never copyright?

Thanks for the links.

BTW - are the images in the public domain? I'd like to use them on my
ejection website. Probably reduce the quality a little for bandwidth
concerns.

I'm pretty sure that the U.S. Air Force owns the rights to the video and
photo. I'll make them a deal, if they don't give me a hard time about
hosting these binaries, I won't give them a hard time about destroying
public property and will agree to keep on paying my taxes.

Yowser...says a lot for the seat, considering the sink rate at time of
ejection. Also one of the problems of fly by wire...max pull and the 'puter is
only gonna let ya do so much.

Did he stay on the team??

No, he's flying a desk in Washington.

You do not need to register it to retain copyrights. That said, I will
remove the photo if the owner asserts his copyrights.

Yes, they can hold copyrights. They can hold patents and license them too.

[damron]

It's pretty clear that the video was made with AF hardware. I doubt they
contract for that. If they did, it is possible that the contractor has the
rights, but I doubt it.

FWIW, the ejection picture (shot from the control tower) was on the Air
Force Link website today (as part of the week in pictures):
