Yeah; you pull the ejection cord underneath the seat, out you go flying into the air and....."poooooooooof" the parachutes open and you float gracefully to the earth. At least, that's what supposed to happen. With T-K flying the Cessna, that would explain the flak jackets and helmets.
What's above the seats......?

Now that I think about it, we're still working on that question; ask T-K, it's his Cessna.....

Possibly.......now, we did the wings off of an old F-14 Tomcat, giving the Cessna a swept-wing look....which would explain the ejector seats.

Now you know why we put parachutes under the other seats; with T-K flying the Cessna, who knows where we'll end up!

Come to think of it, with old Tomcat seats, I think I will go for the parachute option, after I pack it

Why d'ya think there's three seats in the cockpit? One for the pilot, one of the co-pilot and a third for someone to watch for planes coming and going(although I suspect w/T-K flying, the planes'll be tryin' to get away from us......

My seat is on the wing...........well away from all sorts of fumes, easy egress, and somewhere to sit when I get tired of wing walking

Okay.....I'll sit in the co-pilots' seat, then......let's see, T-K'll sit in the pilot's seat, I'm in the co-pilot's spot, and you're where again?

Then it's off to the bar...if T-K's flying, I'll be darned if I'm riding shotgun in the Cessna sober....

Nah, we didn't steal the bar.....we just built a small replica and planked it onto the Cessna....care for anything to drink?
