Was looking around the Boeing store website and stumbled upon this:

Get all fired up in the comfort of your own home or office. This artifact is a genuine ejection seat from a legendary McDonnell F-4 Phantom II fighter jet.

$12,500 - shipping extra (it's ~200 lbs.)

It's a bit knackered isn't it? You'd think they'd spruce it up a bit first.

The condition; the difference between 'pre-owned' and an only 'used once' item.

Imagine how many nervous farts have been filtered through that seat cushion...

Isn't that what you'd call "patina"?

Are they selling off the best/old china to fund the MAX fiasco losses?

Possibly, but I bet the old sweaty 'patina' on those cushions and straps stinks!

"This Mk.7 rocket-assisted ejection seat, built by British manufacturer Martin-Baker Aircraft Co. Ltd., has been professionally cleaned and refurbished" "Made in US"

C-19 deep clean?

*NOTE: This artifact is sold as is with no guarantee that parts maintain original function. Not for flight use.*:eek:

I would hope guaranteed they don't!

My father obtained one of those big red "Danger, Ejection Seat" triangle transfers years ago.



He affixed it to the outside of our toilet door,

Would it fit in Air Force 1? :confused:
