In the early 70s an ejectee colleague of mine went to a dinner/drinkex organised by MB to celebrate the 4000th life saved by an MB seat. Currently the figure is over 7000. During the festivities there was a discussion about a USAF pilot who had (allegedly) ejected 3 times in 4 flights; twice on consecutive flights in Vietnam and on his second flight on return to duty in USA. Fact, fiction or Urban Myth?
