An A-4 "adversary" jet used to simulate enemy aircraft in air-to-air combat crashed just after takeoff from Fallon NAS. A rescue helicopter had just landed while another circled overhead. The pilot ejected safely.

Wow! What a catch! Glad to hear he was ok. Did you know, the man credited with inventing the modern ejector seat, Sir James Martin, was a native of Crossgar (my wifes home town) around 6 miles from where I live.

Martin
As I wrote to aoriioka-san, Lucky photo for me, but probably not such a great day of flying for the pilot.
Interesting about Sir James Martin. Martin-Baker ejection systems are used on a number of US fighters, and the Mk.16 is being used on the brand new F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. (Though the pilot from the photo likely used an old Douglas "Escapac" system.)

You clearly know more than me about ejector seats Steve! Thank you for the information.
