When I was at MCAS Beaufort, SC... They told the tale of a Harrier demo at PI that went squirrelly. Plane started losing stability at hover, pilot ejected... sideways into an oak tree. No idea if it was true or not.

I do know that the week before I checked in, a seat tech had punched herself through the main hangers roof. Forgot to put the pins in the ejection seat before attempting to remove it for service apparently. Hole was still there as were the blood stains...
