How do you exit a F-22 cockpit?

I doubt that would cost over a ½-¾ million or so, even with medical cost. Wouldn't the booster rockets in the seat ruin the paint AND the cockpit? Not only that but ejection is far more dangerous and life threatening than cutting the cockpit with a chain saw. Making a decision to eject would probably have a career ending effect for whatever officer that made it. Besides, how does one go about convincing a sane pilot to eject when there's any other option?...the ONLY damned way I'D eject is to save my precious bacon... -- -Gord. (use gordon in email) |

postulated : Besides, how does one go about convincing a sane pilot to eject when there's any other option?...the ONLY damned way I'D eject is to save my precious bacon... They have changed the pilots call sign to SPAM ....meat stuck in a can which kind of ties in with your "bacon" remark. |
