Dude's lucky to be alive! I wouldn't fancy my chances bailing at that altitude...

I thought those were this crash at first. Amazing 'punch out' technology. I believe the pilot actually got up and casually walked back to the hangar............hard as it is to believe someone could actually survive.

Reminds me of the Apollo documentary I watched a month or so ago, and lo and behold YouTube has it, and it's queued up to the exact part I wanted to show.



The "Neil" that bailed out was Neil Armstrong.

Those pilots are a different bunch of folks.... Balls of steel!

That is quite amazing, mind you did anybody else notice the line underneath the pics?

He is alive and we believe right now that his injuries are non-life-threatening,

So basically they don't know if they're life-threatening???

cool photos, although i feel the pictures are a little bit outgunned by the very very very interresting debate at the site

From what I've been told, if they pull the "Punch Out" handle they'll need them for the impact.

Of course the first things that I see is the signs in the foreground:

"Entering Vehicle Control Zone"
and
"Customs Parking"

A bit of fail on both?
