That gave me a chuckle.
Bet that’s his last joy ride in a jet.

How embarrassing to have the whole world told about your premature ejectulation.

If that was someone’s idea of a joke, it wasn’t funny.

Nope, you can’t make it up.
Wonder if they will bill him for the damage?

Yes, but did he have Covid-19? And why wasn’t he self-isolating?

I was boarding a 747 for a flight from Osaka to Tokyo when the news came on about the crash of a Concorde which grounded the SST for good.
It was full of German tourists.
The macabe joke at the time is that the French killed more Germans in that episode than they did in the entire May 1940 Battle of France.

ALMOST as good a story as the guy giving Boy Scouts helicopter rides in a Robinson (which has that funny T-stick) and in fright one of the scouts grabs ahold of that T-stick ...

“Well, if you don’t like the ride, you can just get out and walk!”
FWIW, this incident smells vaguely of “stunt.” Kudos to the old man for successfully bailing anyway! The manufacturer is probably glad to learn that their ejection mechanism is damn near fool-proof!

Is it common to have separate ejection seats in
a fighter jet?

Is there a French version of “Florida Man”, ‘cause this story has “Florida Man” written all over it.

Flying a fighter jet is a deadly serious business.
Whoever authorized this person for this ride, and then allowed him to continue after he expressed fear should be court martialled, as well as the pilot who allowed it and apparently did not give an adequate safety briefing to his passenger.
