1. Did he evade capture?! 

2. Friend’s father bailed in WWII and was hit by the tail on its way by, breaking his back.

   Thank god for today’s ejection seats. Risks be damned.

3. When you slow it down he jumps over the back on the wing, what a ride!!

4. If it’s actually an Avenger there are two other crewmen.

5. Can’t believe he survived bailing from such low altitudes without an ejection seat. Didn’t know that was posible before seeing this video.
