or in the crowd at an air show. smiley
In the US, airshow performers fly inside a "box" to help ensure that the crowd is not endangered in case of a crash.
Isn't there a chance that he might not get enough altitude before his shoot opens too? Or did the fix that in newer ejection seats?
Zero-zero seats have been in service a while now...you can eject at zero altitude and zero velocity...the seats have systems that also upright the seat, boost it to altitude, and fire the parachute. Zero zero systems, however, still won't save the pilot at say, inverted and low altitude or similar situations where the seat won't have a chance to orient the pilot correctly and fire the rocket and then chute. But it's a lot better than what the situation was many years ago where the pilots had minimum altitude and speed restrictions.
