Do any of you pilots know whether the FAA has authorized work by certified mechanics on life support equipment (that is, ejection seats)? The last I knew, pilots of these jet warbirds were forced to fly with the seats pinned or safetied. The only way to abandon a jet and live is by using the ejection seat. Otherwise, if it has been rendered useless, you are along for the ride to a big smoking hole.

How much does a jet like that cost anyway?
