My father although a test pilot for many years only used the silken staircase once. In Jan 1943 when as he put it I should have zinged instead of zagged !

Bob,
Can you provide your dad's full name, and details of his bail-out?

Thanks

Thanks for the detailed and accurate compilation of ejections.  I was the shop supervisor of VA-195 (A-7E, Douglas Escapac 1C2) seat shop in 1971-1972 when we had 4 seats utilized (Pianetta, Hall, Warner, Gilfry).  Fortunately for the pilots, we had the best maintenance crew a shop PO could ask for--Mark Malone, Randy Thompson, and Everett Paul.

Greetings, just wandered in through the back door while viewing Skyraider photos on Flickr. I run the http://skyraider.org website and flew Skyraiders in VN. Great site, keep it going. I may be able to help you figure out when the first successful Yankee Extraction System occurred. Several of those you list under Skyraiders were not it. I know for a fact that Mel Elliot went over the side, for example. Hook

The Kenyan Air Force aircraft that were involved in the incidents on 1st June 1975 were a single seat Hunter FGA Mk 80 which crashed onto the Nairobi golf course during the Madaraka Day fly past, the pilot was killed.  The other aircraft was a twin seat Hunter T Mk 81, which made an emergency landing at Eastleigh Air Base during which the canopy was jettisoned and the aircraft came to rest off the side of the runway.  The crew were Major Ndu and Major ???.  The trainer was later flown back to Nanyuki Air Base without a canopy and with the undercarriage locked down by two RAF pilots, Flt Lts Nigel Ashley and Derek Bridge.  It was repaired and continued in service.
