Lefty, it's all autoactivate with the ELTs, either on ejection or in contact with water. If they didn't go off, they are dusted. But I'll hold vigil with you.

Miracles do happen. Just not very often with fighter pilots, not counting startup, takeoff, and landings.

Not exactly ......there are manual and auto modes. In this case it should have been set to auto for a training mission. No water activation on profind’s etc......pull plug on the chute or manual activation by the aviator.
