Passenger accidently ejects from plane

[SayethWhaaaa 245]

Every time I've flown in an aircraft, the number one rule the pilots have always told me to follow was "Don't touch nuthin'". Seems like this guy may have broken that rule...

coulda been worse... at least he didn't grab the joystick!

 

I went for a flight in an O-2 recently (an L-19 for us canucks), and the first thing the pilot said was "Don't touch anything. Can you handle aerobatics?"

Or he could have been listening to Elton John's Rocket Man and wanted to join the rocket club...

we had a Navy Captain (surface puke) on an orientation ride do the same thing, from a Tomcat!

Usually, that is part of the egress briefing. A/C commander, "DON'T TOUCH THE EJECTION HANDLE unless I tell you!" followed by "If I have to tell you twice, you will be talking to yourself..."

I used to tell ALL my right seaters in the brief,If you hear me say Eject,Eject,Eject!

Don't bother to look over and say "WHAT"!. All you'll see is a black smoking hole where I used to be setting. Oh yah and it will get very windy and noisy.

"Don't touch anything. Can you handle aerobatics?"

 

Okay! Yes! This is going to be great!

 

It's been way too long since I've flown upside down.

Thought this was fitting.
