Of course, US civil aircraft (which is what this was) are not
allowed to have ejection seats (IIRC). Can anyone with more current knowledge advise? when I was working on T-33s and other jets, this came up, and this was my answer.When the FAA asks, yes sir, the seat is cold and the tanks are on and bolted. As soon as he was out of sight, the charges would be put in the seat and the the tank made jettisonable. My reasoning is, why should a convict on death row have more chances to save his life than a pilot flying a jet warbird ?
