    The ejection handle on an F/A-18 seat, when pulled, sets off an explosive cartridge that ejects the pilot from the aircraft. The purpose of the ejection seat is pilot survival and seats are inspected daily by Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (All-Weather) 225 aboard Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif.
