G_MADY, there is no reason that the aircraft would nose up on exit. It will drop nose down and point at the ground like a bomb, possibly inverted.

But that scene is no less believable than a lot of other Bond aviation stuff. Ejecting from Goldfinger's jet. The turbine R22 in the train carriage. The freefall off the cliff to get into the Porter. Fighting Jaws on the roof of that Lodestar. Firing rockets from the gyrocopter. The AS350 slicing up the street in China. The jeep rolling backwards out of the Herc in Afghanistan. The zero-g hows-yer-father in Moonraker.....that could be fun. But hard to get leverage.
