Stumbled on this earlier today (creator unknown) and got a laugh. Back in the days when gun cameras didn't record sound and we carried tape recorders, I had one get loose during a BFM engagement. I could see it in the mirrors, all the way back on the turtleneck (the flat surface the photoshopped raccoon is on). Negative Gs and fanning the speedbrake summoned it back, no harm done. #EagleBot #F15Eagle #SierraHotel

A friend forwarded this to me. My background is fighters, not bombers, but this reads like the species of accident report focusing on pilots wearing non-regulation socks or nametags with tactical callsigns.
Seriously, though, ground ejection is sporty to begin with, and if you weigh more than the dummies ejection seat manufacturers use to test their products, you may hit the ground before your chute opens.

You sometimes hear single-seat F-15 Eagles and two-seat F-15 Strike Eagles called "light greys" and "dark greys." Pretty good illustration of that here. #EagleBot #F15Eagle #MilAir #SierraHotel

Great Ken Middleton photo. Nose wheel comes off the ground at 120 knots (138 mph) on takeoff. An unbalanced one will keep spinning for a while. When retracted it's right under you. Feels like an unbalanced tire on your car, only over several seconds the vibration slows and eventually stops. #EagleBot #F15Eagle #SierraHotel

Great mid-80s photo of Soesterberg Air Base in the Netherlands. Talk about a cozy little airfield. Those were glory days indeed. Thanks to Mario Warnaar for the photo. #EagleBot #DutchAirNationalGuard #F15Eagle #SierraHotel

Not used any more, but a big deal in the F-15 community of the 70s & 80s, the "Eagle Eye": a rifle scope mounted to the side of the HUD, used to get earlier visual IDs on targeted aircraft. #EagleBot #F15Eagle #MilAir #SierraHotel
