I disagree. The pilots did not eject either cos they didn't have
the time to, were unable to, or they were fighting the re-cover the
aircraft. I sincerely hope it was the last.
With all due respect to the pilot, it would be terrible if they had
ejected and the aircraft crashed into the storage compound. A
responsible pilot should ensure his aircraft wreckage will not
cause the loss of human life before ejecting.
My point was simply, how low are the pilots allowed to fly in their
simulated ground attack exercise? Is this hard deck sufficient,
considering the aircraft to be fully ladened with fuel and training
munitions?
