The D model is a two seater. Wonder if there was a WSO in the rear seat who did not eject safely like the pilot.

I wondered the same but multiple articles made no mention of the WSO.

If there were two crewmen on board and one parachute it would be the RIO, not the pilot that got out. The ejection sequence is GIB out first.

Hopefully though only the pilot was onboard.

Yeah, I was wondering about that too. Hopefully, it was a training mission for the pilot to get some time flying through this special area and there wasn't a WSO on board.
