As some may know I have an unhealth interest in all things to do with ejection seats and kindred systems.
Part of my collection is the stuff and paraphinalia that goes with the pilot should he eject.
I am keen to find out what kind of medicinals are included with the current PSP's as in my collection from the near past (Mid 90's) there are first aid kits that contain the following tablets in various quantities:
Codeine Phosphate
Cyclizine
Diphenoxylate & Atropine
Paludrine
Proguanil
Sodium Chloride and Dextrose
Tetracycline
Pentazocine
What I would like to ask is:
1. What kind of training were aircrew given to use such medication?
2. What are they all for?
3. Having read some of the treads about spreading a little instant sunshine in the east, was this heady mix of chemicals ever intended for purposes other than medicinal? If you get my drift!
4. What does the average (combat) aircrew carry with them these days?
