    Man ejects himself from fighter jet...

    Nearly a Darwin Award this:

    Man accidentally ejects himself from fighter jet during surprise flight

    qh
    He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

    I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

      The man had never expressed any desire to fly in a fighter jet and had no previous military aviation experience, investigators said. His heart was racing at between 120 and 145 beats per minute beforehand. The flight had been a gift from colleagues and the man felt he couldn’t refuse.



      That could been any of several CUKkers who are despised enough for their colleagues to pay to get rid of them....

        Unlikely, since he was French. That's the second time I've seen a reference to spag bol on a plane. Care to share the joke?
        His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

                Wonder how the pilot managed to stop himself being thrown out as well? I thought those things were one out all out in case one of them couldn't pull the handle.

                  Apparently the pilot's seat should have gone off as well but didn't because of a fault. He landed the plane thinking that it could go off at any minute.

                    This is one benefit with flying in my plane - there is no ejector seat. It does mean that if the wings fall off, everyone on board dies - but let's not worry about trifling issues
