ASN Aircraft accident 15-JUL-2010 Beechcraft T-6 Texan II

Quote from report: "She pulled the eject lever and launched her parachute"

Female air cadet injured after ejecting - Haaretz Daily Newspaper | Israel News

Quote from report: IAF officials said the cadet acted according to emergency procedure. The aircraft was on the ground when the cadet ejected and it stopped shortly afterward, incurring extensive damage but is likely to be returned to service after repairs.

Never flew the T-6, but if i'm above a taxi speed and about to depart the prepared surface, I'm punching. The Tweet was the only plane I would have stayed with it, on the count of seat sucking and it being a tank!
