Here's some real life trivia from my skull...
My dad flew the F-80 complete with ejection seats. As a 5 year old kid, I will never forget playing outside, hearing a crash and a boom, watching a fireball rise from the swamp, and watching the fearful wives run out of the houses... After a couple of these fireball crashes, dad and mom got into an argument, and dad got out of the fighter business. The ejection seats must have really sucked. Nobody got to eject...... "Final version of the F-80 plane was the T-33 trainer, which remained in continuous production until August 1959. The T-33A was a very hot fighter to handle, compared to slower piston engine aircraft, and an alarming number of airplanes were lost......" Now B-52 bombers, they eject DOWNWARD. Not a good feeling during takeoff. |
