Default Ejecting at 800 MPH

Found this amazing story about an F-15 pilot ejecting at supersonic speeds and surviving. RIP to his weapons officer.

Some of us found it a little closer to the date of the event... 17 years ago. I guess recycling it now might give the next generation of pilots a chance to hear it.

I was at SJ when it happened. He was later at MO, flight lead in a 2 ship when his wingman hit the ground. Last I saw him he was at SWA.
