What’s it’s like to eject out of a plane…

Great flying. Establish a good glide towards an open field then pull back on the nose to dump all the speed and get a little extra altitude before popping out.

Russian ejection seats are the best in the world. They don't usually put pilots into wheelchairs like American ejection seats often do
 
A good friend of mine had this happen to him while he was flying a Crusader. It's a long read but amazing that he lived to tell about it!

F-8 Crusader. the last of the Gun Fighters!
