I think there's four of the CAPS where the second step of the CAPS is STORES-JETT (Engine Fire, Low Thrust on T/O or Low Alt, Restart, Engine Failure)
If jettisoned, all armament is released unarmed. It could still go off low order or the fuel tanks could easily have caused an explosion.
Zobrist is a great dude. I still have his xmas card from Dec 92. Him and his wife and family are standing with santa hats and smiles in the totally flattened ruins of their Homestead house post hurricane Andrew. Classic.
