This is another picture in an ejection series. To continue with the series you can click on the "NEXT" at the bottom of this page's text. Seeing he could not get the Crusader stopped prior to the end of the runway, Mike popped the canopy (per procedures). Note the fence marking the field boundary. You can see the open cockpit and the tailhook in this shot. The F8's nose gear is airborne. NEXT picture in sequence.
