Ejection Seat blues

The old and venerable Phantom F4 had a radar screen that was right over the navigators knees.

I remember being told that several USMC crew had ejected sans legs before they got the mechanism that moves the display out of the way a few mSecs before the ejection took place.

Quite a thought for someone on their first day at work aged 15.
