Wow, a/c looks to be a good shape on the ground still - not sure how that happened if the pilot ejected, check out the pics. Maybe he ejected after he did an emergency landing, saw some lights, like the old "fire" one and decided getting out riding the rocket would be faster than trying to climb out.
With the already insanely undermanned/planed USN losing 2 Superhornets recently, the last thing the USAF/USN need is to lose another a/c, Tbirds or otherwise, nice to see it looks salvageable at least (basing this on recent articles all over the defense blogs that 1/2 of the aircraft in the inventory couldn't fight today if they needed to, or more).
