Very interesting - great clip. If you watch his left arm (mostly hidden
by the glareshield) it looks like his left hand was off the throttle
grip and onto the eject handle over on that side starting at about the
18 second point - once he was on the downline of his half cuban-8
after takeoff. He bounced it back to pull the throttle back some more
twice, but then it went right back to the exit handle until he pulled
it. <br>
<br>
I bet they have a hard deck (hmm - Air Force - hard floor?) on that
maneuver and an SOP that their left hand's gotta be on the handle once
they are headed downhill, so they can leave <i>right now</i> if they
bust the minimum altitude.<br>
<br>
Really cool video.<br>

Here is an interesting movie of a Thunderbird pilot ejecting form his
a/c. Whats interesting is the speed of the eject. I know the process
is fast but its interesting to actually see it.

The file is about 4.5mb
