“14 years ago, on July 27, 2003, Martin-Baker saved my life after my EA-6B Prowler caught fire after a catastrophic engine failure over the Persian Gulf.

I am lucky to be Ejectee number 5305, with a safe water landing. I was even lucky enough that a Martin-Baker representative came out to our base in Whidbey Island, Washington to give me my certificate and tie a few months later.

Thanks Martin-Baker! I wouldn’t be here without you.”
