I guess a JP/Strikemaster has a reasonably low stall speed giving them a good chance of a successful forced landing?

Also I understand ejecting from these early jets is not to be taken lightly with the rocket bang seats often causing back injuries, not to mention the consequences of the uncontrolled crash of the pilotless jet.

Well done to the crew and hope to hear more on the story...
