HooBoi, Steve!1!!
I wuz AAVS back-when, aircrew qual'd in ~whatever~... photographer. Had to be qualified in whatever there was in the inventory. C-47's & 123's to F-4's.
Jolly missions were th' weirdest. "Clip IN!" was my first order of business there. "Low bird".
WHAT were you in to allow ya to foul the risers like that?!?! :shocked:
Doc
I was a PPMS in OV-1's until they retired them. Then they retired me. Here is a seat picture. You put on the harness then strapped into the seat at the risers, lap belt, and leg straps. The seat back is the chute. After ejection, the seat would stabalize with a drogue chute then a barostat would open the main chute at 14K. This would jerk the man loose from the seat to which he was secured with sticker clips. If the risers weren't hooked up, man-seat seperation wouldn't work out too well as the chute would depart and you'd ride the seat in at terminal velocity. As far as I know, this never happened.
Have a nice day
