I said it was easy! Lethbridge Alberta, CYQL



Five seconds from ejection to feet on the ground! Very ironic that the PA was broadcasting "Staying alive".

A great quote from the pilot afterwards:
Martin Baker is my new best friend!
The full accident report is here:
Article | Royal Canadian Air Force | Report | CF188738 Hornet - Epilogue - Flight Safety Investigation Report

When I was at Lethbridge in July last year, there was another unusual incident, although not as spectacular. We were surprised to see an Air Canada Airbus on the ramp. Lethbridge is normally Dash 8 country. The Airbus had been on approach to Calgary and had its windshields crazed by hail. It had diverted to Lethbridge for repairs.
