    To clarify what this is: An jet powered auto gyro that literally ejects out of a fighter aircraft. Basically a combat pilot’s saving grace by a hundred kilometers of flying, so I suppose the Vietnam war pilots would have appreciated that knowledge of being able to return to an airbase without being captured and tortured. Also the finest application of ye olde “Yo dawg I heard you love airplanes” meme.

    And an additional note: the company’s founder also happened to be a guitarist whose other music corporation also happens to own the Randall and Ampeg brands of guitar/bass amplifiers.
