The seat I ejected in was powered by a 37 mm artillery shell  (Used to keep one on my desk as a curio )Big John On Mon, 12 Apr 2004 22:08:04 GMT, David Reinhart wrote: It's my understanding that ejection seats aren't allowed on civil aircraft because the pyrotechnics used are illegal for civillians to own. They're considered controlled military munitions. Dave Reinhart Richard Kaplan wrote: "Thomas Borchert" wrote in message ... I don't understand this. We're talking about a life-saving device, people start using it and some here actually suggest those pilots weren't macho enough to try to get out of their emergency without being a sissy and pulling the chute? This is unbelievable. "Real men don't use chutes"? What BS! Why do you suppose ejection seats are not permitted on civilian airplanes? They would be life-saving, too. ----clip----
