Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.
I seem to recall reading someplace that the Russian ejection seat basically immobilizes the pilot when it ejects.

Perhaps they just need a modified ejection seat that immobilizes the pilots neck, or a lighter helmet display.

Love the carrier shot where he ejects underwater and lands on the flight deck!  |

Probably because at an Air Show everyone and their brother has a camera, whereas a crash in the middle of nowhere ...

...that and the fact they tend to be doing difficult manoeuvrers close to the ground so have to bail rather than having space to level it out". |

All no doubt true. You would think that air show aircraft would be on the top line for maintenance, etc, though. Makes you wonder how many crashes they have 'off camera' perhaps? |

Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.
That thought occured to me as well.........you don't send second rate pilots to do airshows where everyone watches your every move and you don't send second rate ground crews to service the aircraft......however what you may try to do as a hotshot fighter pilot is push the envelope too far to prove you can do it .....or be told to run it on the edge by your superiors to prove a political point

Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.
I like the Temptations (Motown in general.) one of their hits was a song titled "Ball of Confusion" though the title fits the next, a line from that song " And the band played on... seems to fit the story below better.
http://www.janes.com/article/63907/u...ing-line-issue
It won't be too long depending on the severity of this issue (Which is more then a minor one.) before NAVAIR will make it's decision to ground the F-35B/C aircraft to conduct inspections of those lines.
This plane is getting noticed again the AERO L-39NG. The current model is making headway in Africa and parts of Asia in sales and general interest where funding is limited. The plane gives these countries a less expensive option which covers the need for a Trainer/Interceptor/Ground Attack aircraft.
Keeping my eye on this one.

This would be comical if the bloody thing was not so expensive, etc... |
