It's a crappy way to end a flying career, but at least he survived.

The $20 million plane crashed due to pilot error, so I don't think he should be promoted.

Sorry his flying career is over? I don't know how many crashes we can afford.

"ACES-II, (Advanced Concept Escape System - 2nd generation)"

Is that made by Martin Baker?

No, it is not.

I forget the mfg's name - based out of Titusville, FL.

MB made a good seat - F-4. They were supposed to have an updated version to compete with the ACES-II capabilities. I don't the AF bought any. Navy probably did.

Environmental impact was limited to soil contaminated by JP-8 where the fuselage came to rest.

I'm glad the soil is okay.
