OV-10 widow maker. On take off if you lost an engine it would torque roll and you would eject into the ground.
It was the last aircraft the Army had ejection seat train for anr muther rucker it the 80's |

failure befor Velocity minimum control was a wild ride if not very careful. Akin to the MU2 prior to @ 165kts on takeoff. |

I know a former Captain who flew one of those into a major set of powerlines in Spain back in 1989/1990 and took out half the power in that country. |

You mean the one that hit a cable car line that dropped a few thousand feet and squished everyone onboard. |

No that was a actual Navy A-6
The US Army's OV-1 Mohawk series had Ejection Seats by Martin-Baker of Merry 'Ole England. A Observer/Equipment Operator and his pilot Ejected. The Observer , Chad was his first name, survived, the Pilot If I recall did not. Martin-Baker sent Chad a letter welcoming him as a member of the "Silkworm Club" as he had ejected/bailed out of a perfectly bad airplane. Sometime later, Chad again ejected after being told to eject by the pilot. This time the Pilot landed the plane. Chad received a second letter from Martin-Baker: "Sir, it is not necessary to renew your membership in the "Silkworm Club"
Any way Chad then went to ROTC, got a degree, went to Army flight school, took a Huey on a joyride with his Dept of Army Civilian girlfriend on board, got caught, lost his wings, got a career killer report card, had to serve his full obligation. Got out. He then became a Department of the Army Civilian himself and I lost track.
I still like the guy. |
