Private jets are not allowed to have ejection seats. Apparently, the rockets and such in them makes them illegal to possess, so you ride it in. That much I know.

As far as owning one goes, you can, but you have to find one that you can buy. It is the policy of the US that military aircraft are never sold to private individuals, unless it is for static display, and then it is “De-Miled”, where they cut through the main spar on both wings, and remove other goodies needed for flight.

Also, every nation that buys US military aircraft sign a pledge not to sell them, or any part of them to any individuals.

You answered most of my questions before I hit the 'Go' button. Thanks.

If you're correct it appears that no one told the owner of this jet. In the article, he's quoted as saying, "It was the most violent 4ft fall I have ever had," he says. "By the grace of God the ejection seat didn't fire."

Yeah, you’re right. I wasn’t thinking. My husband flew Harriers, so my mind went there. Ooops again.

You are quite mistaken. The Collings Foundation F-4D is only one example of a privately owned jet equipped with ejection seats.

Is’nt the SeaHarrier a Brit aircraft?
