The double Hawk ejection today was spectacular. Tandem seats can be fired independently or as a result of one of the pilots initiating the sequence for both. Note the diverging angle; the seats are designed to fly that way to increase separation prior to the parachutes opening.

Does anyone here potentially have some photos of specifically the outer wing of the F-4S Phantom II? I'm trying to find references for the panel lining of the top of the outer wing, and thus far am having zero luck lol
