“People don’t understand what wind does to someone at that speed. If you stick your hand out as you’re driving down the highway, stick out the car window and it’ll blow it back, and that’s at sixty miles an hour.
“Imagine doing 800 miles an hour and what that will do. It starts ripping you apart.”

Felt like somebody had just hit me with a train. When I went out into the wind stream, it ripped the helmet right off my head, broke all the blood vessels in my head and face — my head was swollen to the size of a basketball and my lips were swollen to the size of cucumbers. My left elbow was dislocated and pointed backwards. The only thing holding my leg on was an artery, the veins, the nerve and the skin, and my left leg snapped at the bottom half. I found myself exhausted hanging in a parachute. I could feel the cool night air on my face and could hear the parachute ruffling above me.
Holy shite!

Wonder what the logistics of ejecting the entire cabin would be. Like an...escape pod.

I'd like to know how he survived and his navigator died instantly. Must have snapped his neck im guessing.

No fricking way am I flying a jet fighter piloted by a guy nicknamed "Noodle."

They get their call signs at the end of flight school by senior officers I believe. I can only imagine what he did to earn "noodle"

Damn is that from 1995? Don't recall hearing about it before.

Happened in 89. First time I've ever heard about this also.

Have a last name that rhymes with "noodle"?
They're not all cool call signs. Posted on 3/31/16 at 6:31 am to Havoc
Probably right, but he survived an ejection at supersonic speed, so I'm going to just believe there's more to his call sign to add to his already legendary status in my mind.

Could be a number of things, like body posture or just neck strength in general.
Or just dumb luck.
