Compressor stall on starboard engine - the -404 will give about 32K pounds of thrust even on wet a/b - too low - too slow - too bad for the a/c

ACES saves another pilot....

Yup. Photo in post #5 shows it all.

My only experience with ejection seats was during an all-too-short jet transition training in the A-4 in the summer of 1970.

I thoroughly enjoyed flying the Scooter, and, fortunately, I never had to test the Escapac seat for proper functioning!

That little factoid has never bothered me!
