Ejection 4746 - June 11, 1998 - Martin Baker JM6

Flying in a Mirage M-5 belonging to the Argentine Air Force, after completing a test flight due to engine change, the landing gear, both by normal and emergency system not low, due to failure of HYD 1 and 2. Then After trying to lower the train by gravity 5 times, placing a load factor of 7 "G", when reaching the minimum fuel, I had to eject into a controlled ejection zone at 5000 feet altitude and a speed of 250 knots. First, eject the canopy and then the seat. Everything worked perfectly and saved my life. Today I only have two dehydrated vertebrae and I continue to fly somewhat calmer, but fast as a fighter jet, a Lear Jet 60.
An affectionate greeting to all the members of the "Martin Baker Club"
