Yup, think the back seat observer made the right call.. they punched out pretty low, well below the rating/envelope for those old russkie ejection seats.. I think the back seater quickly saw they were out of time and energy. The pilot maybe got 1-2 full swings from his chute before hitting the ground…Speaking of, did you see the initial report of the Mig23 that recently crashed at the airshow in Michigan? Apparently the back-seat observer initiated the ejection sequence for both occupants. Sounds like the PIC wasn't even ready to bail. Lol
