An instrumented mannequin ejects, with help of pyrotechnics, from a specially modified YF-4J drone at the Naval Warfare Center Weapons Division at China Lake, CA, on Wednesday May 19, 1999. The test was the final flight in NASA’s ejection seat research, which began in 1995 at NASA’s Armstrong (then Dryden) Flight Research Center in Edwards, CA. The project was a collaboration between NASA, the Naval Warfare Center, and the Canada’s Department of National Defense. #f4phantom #ejectionseat #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari
