Strikemaster forced landing
Hello Nigelondraft,
I have to disagree with your comment.
I do not believe there is a hard and fast rule about forced landing v ejection.
Ejection was an option, but look at where the jet was put down and you will see numourous villages and dwellings in the close vicinity.
Leave it too late (below 500 feet) in this mk of seat and you gamble somewhat. (yes we know it's a zero-90)
The pilot made a call to protect those on the ground and was skillfull and current enough to do a great job.
Hats off!
