Hope they are good.


Suter Buttes is a pretty cool area. There is an old missile base out there.

Not sure, i saw a vid that had 2 good chutes. But i know jack about the U-2 system and even less about the 2 seater. I work with a guy who was on them and the SR-71 for almost his entire career. I will try and ask him about it when I get back to work in a few days.

The MB seat doesn't have a great track record, lots of successful U-2 ejections that ended up being fatal.

The U-2 seat is a Lockheed design.

The Martin Baker actually has a pretty good track record. A lot of ejection failures are due to ejecting out of the envelope or improper maintenance.
