Amazing True Story: Partial Ejection from an A-6

Ungelesener Beitrag von Triple Nickel »

I found the following amazing story, about a navigator who survived an ejection mishap from an A-6 Intruder.

Apperantly this Tanker Version of the A-6 had some fuel problems and they tried to solve this by doing some negative ''g'' 's...

This maneuvering caused the seat of the navigator to partial eject!!

There's also a video clip and some sound files...
