The document discusses safety features and ejection systems for a T-38 aircraft. It describes the ejection seats, which can be adjusted for height, and an emergency oxygen system. It also details the inter-seat sequencing system, which allows pilots to select between solo, both, or command forward modes to control the order in which the front and rear seats eject and canopies are jettisoned.
