F-14 Ejector Seat fatality circa 1987
In George Hall's "Top Gun", the author refers to a fatal mishap
involving aviators deplaning from an F-14 that had just landed when the ejector seats suddenly went off. According to Hall, both pilots were killed, but he had no explanation for why the seats fired. I'm guessing that they were improperly safed. Does anybody know about this incident? Hall's book appeared around 1987, and I think he mentioned the incident occurring on the carrier Enterprise.
