Chuck Yeager on Twitter: "Q: How many times have you had to eject in your career? A: Well, I bailed out 2x & ejected once. (I wanted to bail a few more times but there was no way out so had to bring the plane back.)"

  Have you been up in an F22? Have you any observations on controlling newer FBW aircraft/thrust vectoring, etc? What's the most "different" aspect of piloting now?

  For those of us who are clueless, what's the difference between bailing out and ejecting?
