Re: How an old friend ended his career in the USMC

Speaking of protecting the legs. The F-4's seat had leg straps that would pull the feet in tight to the seat upon ejection. It was so the feet and knees would not hit the console. Bill may know better if they were widely used or why they did not continue to use them after the Martin Baker. I do remember some stories of failed seat seperation because of them.
