Good airplanes are meant to fly in not depart from!
Always thought it was funny during Navy Flt. Training the first time you get to sit in a cockpit, even though it was just a training cockpit, They shoot your butt out with the ejection seat. Only goes about 40' up some rails but its still exciting. The first time you get a wallet card called a OMAS card. (OH! My A##).
Never had to use the seat for real but re-trained yearly in case.
Only time I thought I was going to depart an A/C was as a T-34B Instructor. Fly back to base with a student flying in the front pit on a warm summer day. Decided to light up my pipe and relax. Being a bit warm under the canopy I decided to open the canopy and enjoy some fresh air. After a couple of min. I felt fire on my back. Naturally thought of an aircraft fire first thing. Then it dawned on me. Opening the canopy had caused lower pressure that sucked the burning tobacco out of the pipe over my helmet and down my neck. Learned my new thing for that day very quickly!
