Mass ANG Rear Seat Ground Ejection

[Mole]

Just saw a video on Facebook, Mass ANG F-15D had a backseater depart the jet on the ground via the ACES II.  Heard it was a incentive or FAM flight. Not 100% sure on details.

Rumor is it was a PAO...

If PAO, they’ll probably use a picture of a MiG-29 when they report the story.

Video without having to go to Facebook.

Looks like the canopy landed on the back of the jet...still sitting there as he taxied back to parking.

Rear seat still smoking...I guess he/she got the full ride!

Now I'm hearing it was a recruiter...

Does he get a watch and scarf?

I helped strap in many a incentive rider in the D model and was very surprised at the little amount of seat briefing that was given by the various pilots.  I got a ride a few years in and dude just said hey you're a crew chief, you know the drill 🙂

They usually receive Cockpit Fam and Emergency Egress training utilizing a cockpit trainer prior to flying.
