Great training there. Aircraft ejection seat handles are like the trigger on a gun. Don’t put your finger/hands on it until you intend to pull it. Glad he’s okay, though.
Not great egress training, it seems...
We arrived late to a German base for a fam flight in their Tiger Attack helos. The Brit with us complained about not getting a safety brief, so the German Colonel gave one. He said ‘Don’t touch anything’ - and off we went.
