In 1993 (ironically the one year I missed working on the show) a pair of MIGs collided and the pilots both ejected safely. One of them landed in a field nearby and after untethering his canopy, calmly walked up to a bystander and bummed a cigarette, lit it and walked back to the airfield. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn9ZgtSph-M> Scroll through towards the end. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ UK Shoot / Edit and || (O) | Live Broadcast News ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
