Couple of questions for those who might know.
A) The A-10 ejection, on purpose?
B) Was that first carrier video loaded in backwards?
C) What happened to the Harrier guy?
D) What was the deal with the A-4?
E) If an A-6 climbs out on its own with no pilots, do they just let someone go shoot it down for practice?

B; That was the new Chinese aircraft carrier during pilot carrier quals.
C; That wasn't a harrier, it was an emb-145.
D; The A-4 gate in atlanta has a very slow jetway.
E; Sure, why not, but that was a predator in the early manned takeoff mode.

1/. "On purpose"? In a manner of speaking, controlled ejection due to inability to safely land it. I believe dual hydraulic failure with engine out. Early Escapac seat, pretty high chance of injuries. My ejection sequence seemed about 10x faster, might be slw mo.
2/ No, I think correctly loaded, cold shot off the bow cat.
3/ A-4 started roll/yaw coupling and headed toward Earth. Out of the envelope to leave with the seat.
4/ Not sure of the gravesite.
5/ That wouldn't be the first time a carrier was "attacked" by a recently una**ed plane. Usually splashes near ship, but flight deck evacuated.

Never get slow in a T-38, don't pull the power until you are ready to touch down.
