I was sat at my desk (about 200 yds from the Harvard) when the ejection happened.
There was a tremendous bang/booming sound which reminded me of a Hawk ejection at Valley. Quickly followed by the ATC crash alarm...
It was the studes first trip in the Harvard (wonder what score he got for his ground checks ?) and it was pre-taxi with the donk running.
The seat worked as advertised and he is actually fine considering the ride/parachute descent from approx 200'. It would be a different story if it was a Tincan....
The QFI stayed put in the backseat and got cut on the face by flying canopy glass, but he's OK too.
Overall, a great result from a fine ejection seat.
Anyone wish to suggest a nickname/callsign for the stude ?
