The ACES II bang seat has really helped bring those two numbers together.
I met, once, a Raptor pilot who had to step outside his aircraft mid-flight. Based on his account (low level eject during take off when messed up sensors sent the aircraft spinning on all three axises) the ACES II is freakin’ amazing.
Checking for updates. Search resumed at 8am. One posted comment:
Is there a beacon on the seat?
