There was a pilot that survived ejection at Mach 3.2, but he ejected at over 20,000 meters altitude, so the air was significantly less dense, and he was wearing a pressurised suit, so these factors probably contributed to his survival. Despite that, he sustained some pretty gruesome injuries, including several broken bones. The copilot did not survive. Apparently, the force of the air at those speeds was strong enough that it broke his neck.

My brother in law had a very similar story with a very sad ending 😔 He was 31 newly wed to my 29 year old sister with a 4 month’s old baby, when he was on a similar training combat duty with another Cobra helicopter. “Six minutes to landing” were his last words. The back rotor detached and ejection seat wasn’t really an option... He crashed together with his co pilot. A few hours later, the pilot of the second Cobra came to visit us and you could see he was “emotionless”/apathetic. He simply told us - “it’s a Russian roulette. It should have me.” And left. Never seen him again. Not even in the funeral. Heard he left the Air Force and moved abroad. Not easy.

Im sitting here trying to make a comment about this but I can't find my words. I race cars and understand a little about the decisions you have to make in a split second ,but man this is in a different world. I've been raised in an airforce family and my dad used to take me to work with him and I got to get in different aircraft f16, f15, t38, c5, c130, sr71(after retirement). During this time of being in complete awe i never thought of stuff like this. My hats off to you, much respect. I can't even imagine what you felt. When I salute my dad i will have this in the back of my mind forever changing the meaning of being on base and watching the pilots take off from the flight line. From the 433rd air national guard Kelly Air force base. My salute to you. Sorry for your loss.

It is a medical fact that more than 90% of people burned on more than 45 % of their body do not survive, and if they do, they loose the ability to do simple tasks, simply because scar tissue doesn't stretch . It would be a nice feather in the cap of our military to keep our service members who are disabled on the payroll instead of giving them a discharge and shooing them out the back door. I'm referring to the (enlisted) guys and gals, not the tenured officers like Capt. Udell .

My wingman ejected from his on fire RAAF Mirage 111O. We had pulled up from on the deck at 480 kts when he got a fire warning light and came back to idle. The energy zoom took him to 8500 feet and speed 365kts. I was sitting on his wingtip yelling for him to eject after his back end erupted in 100 foot long flame. The ejection looked rather violent and the aircraft rolled immediately towards me and the empty cockpit passed about 20 feet under me with the aircraft going into a vertical dive and burying itself deep into a South East Asian swamp. I circled around him in his parachute descent, vectoring in the rescue chopper. Back in the Squadron bar he was none the worse for his ordeal. Great job Martin Baker.
