Tragic. Very tragic. Based on the little bit that I've read about this it sort of mimics green ramp. Busy and crowded tarmac + downed plane = bad news...
My father experienced Green Ramp for himself. This definitely sounds like Green Ramp.
Omg how sad
That sucks, big time!!
“the canopy came off”, but “ejection was not observed”
Can someone educate me: is ejecting from an F16 (or any fighter in general?) a 2-move or a 1-move action?
* 2-move: the pilot needs to make 2 actions: (1) dump canopy (2) eject seat
* 1-move: only 1 move for the pilot: pull the handle and canopy will come off and seat will eject.
In the latter case: could the quote at the beginning indicate a malfunction? Or is there always soe delay between the canopy coming off and the seat ejecting. In this case, the crash would have happened during that delay?
