Brave Pilots Emerge after ejecting from fighter Jet1.AVI

[@dbn52]

I watched all 3 video's with this. They both seemed so calm and at the 3rd video the Canadian (older of the 2) was so business like instructing the cops what to do with the chutes and stuff was very telling on all the training they must have had.The civilians all offering help to these guys and check to make sure they weren't hurt.Typical of our friends from north of the border. Thanks for this.

Looked this up, looks like it was a CF-155 Hawk. Two instructors on a check flight for a trainer, they were returning when there was a loud bang, could not return to field and had to point it at a field and eject, no injuries anywhere. Could not find the results of the investigation, but it sounds like massive engine failure (prolly poor maintenance or birds). They are very lucky.

Hawk trainer?

[@evildave42a]

@@Harry_Ng It's a Canadian built (thats the "C") BAE jet trainer. Looks like its CT-115 not CF-115

[@JohnDoe-nz6bk]

It was a bird strike.

I remeber when ,many years ago, a french acrobatic team's alpha jet just crushed near my house! fortunatly noone was hurt and the 2 pilots ejected and landed safely in a carpark! The alphajet hit first a railway, the impact was so strong that both binary went complelty bent.Than it bounced in a field beside my house!!! i was 10, with a fighter crushed in my yard, the happiest child alive!

[@sesanalorenzo]

@@NicoBoerner thank you, you made the point

[@vissing27]

It was a Canadian trainer Jet that Crashed. The older pilot is Canadian and the younger is Danish. The Danish Pilot was a fully qualified F16 Pilot, hence the shoulder patch, but stationed at Cold Lake as instructorpilot for Danish and other NATO "Pilot Students" that came to Cold Lake to learn to fly fast-jets. The Danes have sinced returned to Sheppard AFB in Texas and are now sending its student pilots there instead of Cold Lake.

Looking for easter eggs?

[@markwillies4330]

No the keys for the jet

@@markwillies4330 no his sunglasses he forgot in the jet

[@Cg23sailor]

There is. You just got to not be lazy and look it up. A Hawk trainer suffered a loud bang followed by engine failure. while gliding back to base (Cold Lake) they knew they would not be able to make it so set themselves up for a controlled ejection. Plane came down in empty field and was destroyed. Clearly the two aircrew were OK.

[@jemand8462]

I love how americans are so helpful. In Germany I think everyone would just stop, take a selfie and drive on.

[@1234597114]

This was in Canada. The Air crew was a Canadian and a Danish exchange pilot

[@jemand8462]

@@1234597114 okay, I'll just include Canada to America then ;)

[@intrepid_wandering]

At least they had a good attitude about the whole thing. Hopefully neither of them was at fault here.

[@ElitesEngineering]

+Mike They have a shit ton of training, I think its really rare to see a jet pilot make a mistake. Most likely the jet was at fault. At least I hope so. :p

Elites Engineering he had to go poop

[@mattdaly9553]

I got bored and read the report. Massive mechanical failure

[@luckasgo141]

Nice Video... whats was he talking about hes neck?

[@foxtrot789]

Rarely do I appreciate commentating, nice job settin' the basic scene :)

[@TVismyopiate]

Lucky they can still walk OK, I hear ejection can very easily cause mild to severe spinal injury.

[@kobiemelverton2231]

ejection seats have a 1 in 3 chance of spinal injury

[@mongrul68]

If it was indeed a Hawk, the canopy has a explosive charge that shatters the glass canopy so the pilots eject through the glass, where other ejection systems, the whole canopy separates from the aircraft. He thought he might of had a slight injury from the charge, possibly a burn.

[@SGSFC11]

An CF-18 A I believe. Its a two seat trainer variant of the F-18 Hornet.

[@icecl0ud]

CF-18B is the two-seater.

[@Overboost44]

CT-155 Hawk in Cold Lake Alberta. Canadian Instructor and Danish Student.

[@SR71ABCD]

Should have put togather the whole AVI file.

[@Привид_Бандери]

This was the bird strike in Cold Lake eh?

[@Cg23sailor]

Also, even if it was a Hornet you'd still be wrong as the A is a single seat. the B model is a two seater.

[@suvodipde5432]

All pilots are brave

[@Caderic]

All drivers on the road are brave! You are more likely to die in a car than a plane.

[@Caderic]

@Nippsta Collins You got THAT from my comment? WOW, you are...well I am not sure, but you are something. What I was saying, it is a FACT that driving a car is more dangerous than frying a plane. I personally know MANY (100+) pilots and brave is NOT ipso facto a term for them. Are some brave? YES, but not all necessarily. Terms I would use to generalize pilots is, intelligent, level-headed, can think on their feet, disciplined...those are words that describe pilots in general (most, but not necessarily all pilots).

Ostacruiser, just drive that skeg in the Sherp and save them the walk.

WTF just happened..... both pilots 😁😁

That's the POINT, fool, religion is more popular in harder times and harder, poorer countries, for example. Not helping Mexico much, though, is it? ;-)
