A-6 crash after launch?

John C.,

My reverse (perverse) logic:

When each of you can see what the other is (or is not) doing as thoroughly as one could in the A-6 cockpit, there is less call for command ejection, IMHO.

I also believe that good crew coordination had much to do with this attitude. You either learned to work well as a crew, or your squadronmates began sniveling to the Ops Officer.

One of the peculiarities of the A-6 was its lack of a command ejection
system. There was some kind of reverse (perverse) logic in the community
that had sufficient following to keep it that way (IIRC) for the life of the
aircraft.
