Quelle surprise!

Thats why I hate surprises.

I know I should not laugh, and I really tried hard not to, believe me.


The pilot however could mark -maybe his first - downing.

Well he certainly got more than he paid for. Jet ride with total immersion!

I bet he hugged and kissed the ground!! :yep:

When the jet was 2,500 feet above ground and the pilot began to climb, the passenger panicked and reached for something to hold onto.
Unfortunately, that something was the ejector seat button -- and the 64-year-old flew from the fighter jet.

I was going to make some comment about his nationality until I read the above.

I wonder what scared him the most, the flight or the ejection?

[Skybird]

I think for him it all melt together to just one single "Noooooooon", with the accent and emphasis on "oooooooo". A truly mind-altering experience. He probably now speaks in a dozen different tongues.

Don't know about that, but I'd bet his flight suit needed a thorough interior cleaning...
