Supposedly a very good seat...no chute, just the harness. Much mo' better for the neck on DBFM in the mighty smurf.

as interesting as all this cool fighter pilot ejection seat information is......
and, while the original poster did mention he was currently on mil leave......
I'm pretty sure the topic was what's the best seat AT FEDEX to take when he comes back to FEDEX - from the mil leave
not which military fighter (or trainer) currently has the best ejection seat
talk about a thread hijacking...
