Top Gun: Real pilot seat for flight simulators

Posted Monday, March 24th, 2008 by Alex Ion

Mk. 5 ejection seatIf you’re serious with flight simulators and you’re a good pilot with $15,560 on hand, this seat is for you. Believe me when I tell you this is exactly what you need if you want to prove you’re a good. It’s a , completely restored Mk. 5 ejection seat by legendary Martin-Baker (ejection seat and escape system technology) and can withstand 40 G deceleration loads.

The chair you see in the picture is the original with cushions and harness (won’t get these when you buy it) that will make a perfect gift for yourself, obviously.

Fighter jets like the Grumman Cougar, the Grumman A6 Intruded, the Mirage, the Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star, the F-8 Crusader or the F11 Tiger are just a few examples of the many planes that used the Mk. 5 ejection seat.

For $15,560 this is how it looks.
