I wonder if the ejection seat failed as well ......

....hardly seems like a MiG demo without firing the bang seat.

It is much easier on the back to walk away than to ride the EJ Seat unless
absolutely necessary. Pilots avoid taking the "Magic Ride" due potential for
compression injuries to their back. This observation based on my ~ 40 years
FD/CFR/ARFF experience.

Undoubtedly Ralph, I was being tongue-in-cheek with my earlier comments.
I wouldn't wish a non-essential ejection upon anybody.


Classic story was told on this newsgroup a few months ago, my apologies to
the original poster who saw it happen and could explain it better that I.


Apparently after the Farnborough crash, where one MiG 29 collided with
another during a spectacular display, both ejected and left their aircraft,
relatively unharmed.


When rescue crews reached the pilots, who had landed fairly close together,
the 'innocent' pilot was seen to be beating the living suitcase out of the
'guilty' pilot.



"aaah Comrade, let me help you with your dental plan..."



Wish I was there.




I have no idea what a professional FD/CFR/ARFF person does at work, I'm
sure that it's important. ;-)




Cheers

I wasn't there either but from the footage it certainly does not look like
they landed anywhere near each other. Neither does any of the footage show
them 'beating the living suitcase' out of each other.

Urban myth?

Wasn't this the crash where one of the pilots was up on his feet and
lighting up a fag before the safety crews were anywhere near him? or was
that a different Russian display, er, mishap.

I loved that shot too!

Wasn't it at Fairford rather than Farnborough? Or are we talking about two
separate incidents?

The two MiG pilots were secretly trained in Germany prior to the end of the
war (insert pitot tube here)
