So after ejecting from a jet fighter, orienting his body in free-fall and pulling the rip cord, he has enough time to retrieve his cell phone, snap a selfie on the way down, put the cell phone back in his pocket, and “assume the position” for a parachute landing. Just how high up was he when he ejected?
Pilots are a Bizarre bunch.
Who Knows.
Can someone take that photo and start to adjust contrasts and brightness in the black?
I bet we’ll see the corners of an office somewhere in Kiev.
... Or Delaware.
Depends on the altitude, from 1000 or 1200 feet there isn’t much time, especially in a mass jump when you are dodging other jumpers, scanning the ground for trees, roads, water, fences, buildings, etc., but alone and from a higher altitude, sure.
How high up...or just how high?

The seat does most of the work. Lookup K 36 ejection seat.
