当美国飞行员弹射时，他们将面临“身体所能经历的最暴力的经历之一”。其中两人本月在伊朗幸存

In Iran this month, two American pilots were rescued after they ejected from their F-15Es.In the weeks since, a few publications have spoken with pilots who have been through that process about how dangerous and risky it is.

Pilots, in that situation, have to decide the right time to eject, to determine whether doing so is necessary, and also must think about where they’re landing, and whether it’s hostile territory.

And also, they go through this was the knowledge that it’s likely going to be painful.

Warplane Ejection: “One of the Most Violent Experiences a Body Can Go Through”

The New York Post, after the Iran rescue, talked to Matthew “Whiz” Buckley, who is a Top Gun graduate and president of the veteran suicide prevention charity the No Fallen Heroes Foundation. In Iraq, he flew F-18 Hornets in 44 combat missions.

Buckley told the Post that the pilots in Iran made “a pretty stark choice to either die or eject.”

“You’re always worried about the condition of the aviator and aircrew, if they had to eject, because ejecting is one of the most violent experiences a body can go through,” Buckley said, noting that those who eject from planes are subject to “instantaneous 10 to 20 Gs of force.”

Buckley also said that pilots receive less parachute training than you might think.

“A lot of people think that, oh yeah, if you’re a fighter pilot, you must do some parachute training. Zero,” he told the Post.

In March, after some pilots ejected after friendly-fire missions over Kuwai t, Task & Purpose also talked to some Air Force fliers about what it was like for them to eject.

“An ejection is about 70 unrelated miracles that happen in about seven seconds,” said Gen. David Goldfein, whose ejection over Serbia in 1999 has become a well-known story. Goldfein went on to serve as  Chief of Staff of the Air Force.

Retired Maj. Gen. Ronald Bath told T&P that his training came in handy when it came time to eject.
