Joking.
The video show a US fighter jet of some type being towed behind a big
honking tanker-looking airplane. The jet is in a low tow position. I
understand from reading this group that low tow is the preferred position in
Australia. High tow is the most common in the US. I jokingly inferred from
the tow position that the pilots were Aussies. I have no direct knowledge
of the actual event or its participants.

safe ejection altitude.
