I seem to remember an ejection seat dummy demo with a T-A4 and an RA-5C dump and burn at the NAS Atlanta airshow in the early 1970's. I'm hoping to someday find more slides from that show. The highlight of the Blues' performance for me was the Delta Vertical Break with six roaring F-4's doing half-Cuban eights and crossing on three levels simultaneously at show center.
