Anyone remember that particularly good flight safety poster a couple of decades ago showing a Jaguar with a choice of flight paths in the vicinity of a tall hill and the captions 'Dead safe...dead lucky...dead'? The explanatory message encouraged aircrew not to delay ejections in times of desperation. So this chap done good, and he is alive to read what we are writing about him.
Anyone else remember the equally old video of an F-14 crash on dry land where one crew member was seen descending into the fireball, only to be lifted to safety by the heat of the fire, doubtless with pretty warm boots?
