jbrundt Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Heard it was a Marine pilot. Old "A" model T-45 with the steam gauge cockpit. Pilot is alive but condition unknown. He punched out at 1500' MSL. Not sure what the problem was. When I find out more I'll post. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites
jai5w4 Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 It was from 21 afterall. Got out at 2k according to him, and he's fine. I don't feel comfortable saying why yet, but will gladly share post-investigation. -John Link to post Share on other sites
