He's young. He doesn't understand why the pilot can't shoot his rifle after he bails out.

The P-61 is also the first plane the U.S. tested an ejection seat.

P61 top speed was 360 mph according to my sources. Some units preferred the radar equipped two place P38 night fighter version, 40 plus mph faster.
