I was a Air Force Firefighter stationed at Edwards AFB when the first B1A came from the Palmdale Plant. To safety the ejection capsule, you had to go a panel,open it and turn the switch to safety. Only problem,if you looked up. there was the rocket engine for the escape pod,so if the pilot decided to go while you where down there,you were going to have a bad day. Also when the escape pod was fired,you did not want to be within 100 yards of the aircraft,the rivets blown out by the prima cord would turn you into Swiss cheese. But it is a large, very beautiful aircraft.
