A few days ago, Martin Baker ejection seats saved the lives of four pilots in Mountain Home ID. Since 1945, they have saved 7800 plus pilots. The seats used are 0-0-150. Zero altitude, 0 airspeed, and if the aircraft is inverted at 150 ft, the thrusters will steer the seat from up side down to up. They have to update this sign from a week ago. In this case, after you see the explosive bolts blow off the canapies, you can see the seats steer themselves away from the wreck and each other.
