Very strange set of circumstances ... are they searching for the plane captain that convinced the pilot that the bird was equipped with a new experimental landing system and the activation lever was right where the ejection seat lever used to be?

Flame-out and too close to the ground for the emergency power unit to kick in and supply the juice?

Oh, Boy! If he goofed the landing he’s looking at a $30 million + deduction from his wages.

The plane did not catch fire and remained structurally intact after the crash.

Well... that's odd. I take it that all the wheels were on the ground already when he ejected? The plane I suppose just kept on rolling...

Air Force pilot ejects before jet crash

Always a good plan, ejecting afterwards is less successful.
