“I want the airmen that worked diligently on the seat, and on the equipment for our survival gear there to know, because I haven't had a chance to talk to 'em directly, that they did an incredible job,” Bravo told 60 Minutes. Despite the damage to the aircraft and ejection seat from an Iranian missile, he said the seat outperformed its design specifications, allowing him to eject safely. “ I call that a testament to their professionalism,” he said. Alpha and Bravo ejected from their F-15E fighter jet after the plane was hit by a shoulder-fired missile. They were then stranded behind enemy lines in Iran, with bounties on their heads. #iran #usmilitary #rescue
