T...Rob, I flew USAF T-33s in Alaska from 1981-1984. The survival gear is attached to the parachute harness - the seat itself has no equipment. You are correct in that the seat is separated from the pilot soon after ejection. In later models of the seat, there is a function that automatically assists. In early versions of the seat, the seat belt automatically releases but the pilot is expected to assist in the separation. I can think of no reason the pilot would seek the seat post ejection.Capt Fighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12908851874524010014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7055960964590743110.post-69682491231422680572021-09-05T17:42:51.065-07:002021-09-05T17:42:51.065-07:00Hi Lorne,

For the last 10 years we have been looking for the ejection seats from a T-33 that crashed in the Callaghan valley near here in 1956. Can you tell me if the survival kit is attached to the crew man, either directly or by tether? I'm pretty sure the seat and crewman are separated quickly after the ejection. I'm wondering if a crewman would have any reason to go looking for the seat? Would it have additional survival gear. E-mail to whistler.sar@telus.net would be great if you can.Thanks in advance.<br /><br />Rob :-)Aussierobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743145348447729625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7055960964590743110.post-91661945614990915872021-03-08T21:59:25.303-08:002021-03-08T21:59:25.303-08:00I truly like to read your post.
