Ferrari Mailing List: Re: *****SPAM***** MB-7 seat

[Rick Moseley (ramosel]

It was a Fallon,

But it was a BGAW (Battle Group Air Warfare Commander, Surface Navy, Cruiser Skipper) on a Demo ride.

Didn't know where to put his hands...

Held onto the wrong thing, Pilot went inverted (cabin check), he flinched and pulled to stay in the seat.  Bye-bye.

Good chute, few scratches on his face and walked away.

Yea I heard it was at Fallon and it was a civilian who thought he was adjusting the seat when he pulled the lower handle 

When I gave rides I always checked the valve to make sure it was in the single position

I'm sure you know what this was...

And why we let the RIO punch his own ticket or the Pilot could initiate both.

Ooops.

The RIO could rotate the handle and make a dual or just him ejecting

Most crews left it in the dual mode

It was the safest way to fly in my opinion

These were in the D model.

Did you have a mode change on the ejection sequence?

You know I wondered about hat with regards to canopy breakers

But I have to tell you that explosive charge that blew that canopy clear was something else

I don’t know what that thing weighed but I bet it isn’t light

Too funny, Col Graves.  He could punch out through the sky-light in his office.

 

Ick, Clyde... that thing doesn't look comfortable at all.  A lot of advancements between the MB-7 and the GRU-7A I sat in.   This is the early version.  Later versions (after I left)  had the canopy breakers (devil's horns) just in case.

This is my office chair 

It’s a functioning seat minus the rocket motors and O2 bottles 

The parachute is right behind you 

You attach yourself to it with a harness along with wearing a horse collar life vest
