Good thing he wasn't delivering nuclear weapons when he ejected!

They did not wait a long time to get him back in the saddle again. Two days later he was flying again. :thumbsup:

Could have been a post crash eval. Typically, after a big accident, you have to take a checkride to make sure you can actually fly the thing.

According to his log entry (1A15 & 1A16) he flew a day, unit training , fundamentals/transition/air-combat. It appears to be a typical at sea sortie. I wonder if he ran out of fuel and ejected because of a foul deck onboard the carrier, or no tankers ???? No doubt this is a cool logbook!! All speculation but still very interesting.
