I heard through the grapevine a rumor that the Meridian (Mississippi)-based Training Wing One had to cancel their up coming carrier landing quals (initial arrested landings) for the T-45 students due to this ejection seat disaster, and that the Air Force T-38 wings are running into similar problems with mass groundings. The reason I heard was that some seats were found to have no propellant. (But since I don't work on the MB's and have this second/third hand there may be some errors in transmission).
If you pull the handle and there's no propellant, there's no ejection and you are dead.
WTF, Martin Baker?
“Outside the F-35, not a single anomaly has been discovered worldwide as a result of the forensic investigation which continues at pace...
What I had heard was that there was an entire lot of seats that was bad. But I am happy to learn more as all of this is second and third hand at best.
