Eject! Eject! Eject!

With regard to the “Eject Eject Eject.”
At first I thought it was a Navy F-18 at which point my I heard my dads voice booming, “Shut the fuck up and die like a naval aviator!”* Then I saw it was a Canadian F-18.
Neat pics none the less though.
*My dad was an NFO, and every time we’d get to the end of Top Gun he would yell that out numerous times. He said the only good part of that movie was in intro with the flight ops on the carrier. After that they just screwed it up.

“Destroyed a perfectly good aircraft while performing non-defense related aerobatics too close to the ground.”
That aircraft cost more than the Canadian Defense Forces spend for their entire military salaries in a year, I’d bet.
The Canoodlians WILL talk about that angle. They will ask, “why didn’t we get the Yanks to fly up and do the show?” In fact, I’ve flown in a Canadian air show. We did a “bomb run” in a shallow dive, getting up to “barber pole” (max speed) on the way in, then did a tech-order climb out to 12,000 feet, hitting a climb rate of 9500 feet a minute, which NOBODY will believe any B-52 could ever do.
Expensive way to play lawn darts.
Also there’s an amazing string of comments on the original thread about how many motors or engines or jets or rockets are on the F-18 or the A-18 or the F/A-18, and how many are needed to safely travel over water. . .
Go see for yourself.
I saw that Windy, was shaking my head about it…
Maybe it would be simpler if they just called them all “pushers.”
