Corrected entry: The idea that the Admiral accidentally ejects himself while Harm remains in the Tomcat to fly isn't a possibility. In a Tomcat, if either the pilot or the RIO chooses to eject, both seats will be ejected. If the Admiral inadvertently ejected, he would have taken Harm with him.

Correction: F-14/TA-4/T-2/F-18 (2-seat variants): Front seat *always* fires rear seat. Rear seat may or may not fire front seat, depending on position of command eject handle. So the command ejection handle may have been positioned so he didn't fire the front seat.
