Skymaster MEL

Ejection seat? In an O-2?

The models I was around had a yellow handle on the front door post connected
to some pins to drop the door, but the pilot went out the same way he got
in. Same as the O-1 Birddog.

How could the ejection seat get out past the wing spar carry-though and
overhead plumbing?

One of the only airplanes I ever saw crash was an O-2, the military
version of the Skymaster. The doggone thing collapsed its nose gear on
touchdown at Clark AB in the Philippines. The pilot managed to eject, but
the plane balled itself up. Pilot had a broken leg. Man, that guy was
ticked.

I never knew that the O-2 had an ejection seat. Very interesting,
indeed.

So why was he ticked? He got out alive, didn't he?
