OK. May be.
‘Lil chuckle before bed.
Ouch, they may be enemies, but that’s a bad way to go out.

Terrible. I would not wish that even on the Iranians, potential enemies. All Lives Matter.
As you ask, was this even an accident?
I know nothing about flying, but I’m guessing that ejector seat doesn’t just spring up at the slightest turbulence.
Beep beep!
You just have to wonder about maintenance issues, and the quality of the mechanics. I’ll bet after this....none of the pilots agree to enter the cockpit until it’s been rolled out of the hangar.
have to admit, thats something you don’t see everyday.
but the idea could serve as a great “bad guy death” in Die Hard 9.
Pulled a Goose.
Good lord....crazy
I’d think their pilots are fairly well trained by now
Bet they won’t do THAT again!
High overhead, a small aircraft turned south and departed, on a bearing that would take it toward a disposal point far out in the Gulf of Oman.
In addtion there is also word out that an Iranian warship caught fire and returned to port. And, there are two Iranian warships somewhere enroute to Venezuela. It sounds like the world navies have pools going as to whether the Iranians can even find Venezuela.
It wouldn’t be surprising that in their efforts for a nuclear arsenal they end up nuking themselves.
Which is just another tragedy in the history of mankind. The average Iranian is not a gibbering muslim fanatic. They wish the mullahs would all go to paradise at the same time so they can get back the freedoms they once had.
Thank Jimmy Carter for hog-tying the CIA which allowed the Ayatollah to leave Paris without getting whacked to begin the current mess in the Middle East.
Plus, Persian women are hot!!!
Sucks to be the ground crew. Hangars are huge expanses of cement, takes quite awhile to mop them. Now, they squeegee the ceiling.
Oops! Nice job by whomever ‘adjusted’ their seats.
Do they still get 69 virgins or just a bunch of demons laughing at them?
In the pretitle sequence, Agent 007 (Pierce Brosnan) escapes from Afghanistan in a Russian fighter jet, stolen from arms dealers...The fighter was carrying a nuclear bomb...Agent 007 paid a visit to an armed sales meeting in Afghanistan...
There was a pilot behind Bond...He tries to strangle Agent 007 with a rope...Bond deals with that problem by pushing an ejector button for the back seat...The bad guy is ejected from the plane...He hits another Russian plane above...That plane blows up...Bond's plane was being chased by another Russian plane...
This story reminded me of that sequence...
Stuff like this is the main reason Iranian pilots are generally not defectors, and when they do manage to get out, no one is interested in giving them asylum.
