Passenger ejects from a Rafale fighter jet on takeoff

Übermittelt vor 5 Jahren

Expensive day for someone...between the canopy, the seat, and replacing the front seaters flight suit (those stains are NEVER coming out). Bet it was a cool ride while it lasted... Note to self: if you feel the need to hang on to something tight, make sure it is not painted black and yellow.

Strange, He should have been briefed before the flight. And he is lucky, parachute might not have opened if it was really just after takeoff.

One would think he would have had a briefing. That particular seat is rated as 0/0 seat, meaning 0 altitude and 0 forward motion.
