I dunno, but he cut it waaaaay close. Otherwise a spotless career I read...what a shame...got reassigned to an office in the Pentagon. To punch out of some of the early fighter craft (not F16s) the pilot pulled two ropes above the head which yanked a canvas type drape down over the helmet. The seat top penetrated the canopy, and ejected the pilot right though the glass...the canopy stayed in tact.
