18th CMS Airmen have 'thrust you can trust'

An F-15C ejection seat sits in the 18th Component Maintenance Squadron Egress Systems Section after being pulled from the aircraft for routine maintenance Sept. 21 at Kadena Air Base, Japan. This ejection seat is usually the last chance at a pilot's survival if something goes wrong during a flight. Once the ejection handle is pulled, the aircraft canopy comes off, and explosives shoot the seat along with the pilot out and away from the aircraft. It is an approximately seven second process and the initial acceleration will cause 12 to 14 G?s. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Sara Csurilla)
