Must be one hell of a pilot restraint system. Obviously the pilot needs retraining.

"No, dummy! Pull the D-ring before impact!" "Dang newbies!"

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. -- An Air Force pilot ejected safely moments before his F-16 crashed Friday just short of the runway at Nellis Air Force Base.

The pilot, who was not identified, was taken to Mike O'Callaghan Federal Hospital, where he was being evaluated and treated for minor scratches.

Military officials said the pilot has been an instructor since December 2004 at the U.S. Air Force Weapons School at Nellis. The pilot had logged 1,500 hours in the F-16, of which 30 hours came during combat, Capt. Steve Rolenc said.

The roughly $20 million aircraft was assigned to the 16th Weapons Squadron at the weapons school. A safety board will investigate, officials said.

The last F-16 accident at Nellis occurred in August 2000, when two planes collided in midair. One pilot safely ejected. The other was able to land without incident.

The Falcon pilot bought some ACME rocket powered roller skates, then he set some bird seed with iron pellets in the middle of the road and held onto this big ole' magnet when all of the sudden this bus came out of the tunnel... duh!

then he ejected.
