Don't let O'Leary see that. Imagine how much he could charge for an upgrade to the first class seat.

I too have visions of the F5+tailpane departing company from the Tu154 the first time they do a live ejection. I know Tupolevs are built like Brunel's bridges but surely it's not stressed for this kind of thing.
