True...
I will look that thing up and tell you all exactly which type it was but, yes, there was a Russian twin-engine bomber just sat out in the weeds near GA parking.
One of the local madmen, callsign Airport Commandant, was in there tinkering when he triggered the ejection seat. It fired and sent him up, up, up and then he came down, down, down, breaking his neck when he hit the wing so that he was stone dead. Then the authorities came to find that this machine was loaded with bombs and ammo, just parked and forgotten when the Biafra war ended, so that they took it away before anyone else might try to steal a fuze off a bomb, perhaps, and send us all to perdition.
Ilyushin IL-28, Nato codename "Beagle", four aircraft flown by Egyptian crews for the Nigerian government against the Biafran forces in the Biafra War.
