Can either crew member in a multi-crew Tomcat initiate ejection

[Bad Idea Hat]

Asking for a friend, because a friend is surely going to hit eject at the worst possible time.

dont think so. The canopy goes off both pits, you and the backseater..

There's a lever in the back seat that selects whether pilot ejects when rio ejects or not. Rio always ejects when pilot ejects (kind of makes sense)

[Vampyre]

The F-14 has a command eject lever that will allow the pilot to remain with the aircraft if the RIO ejects when "pilot" is selected. Selecting "MCO" will eject both crewmembers. The command eject lever is located in the RIO cockpit so you had better only allow someone you trust in there if you don't want them ruining your gameplay.

Okay, this was what I was wondering. People are going to have to be picky about who they let sit in the back.

Yep, you can almost pinpoint the moment on there when I came to the realization that this could be a vector for trolls to use to ruin someone's game.

I think you have to accept other people joining your plane, so it's not possible for randoms to just jump in your plane and ruin it for you.

Alright, that sounds like a great plan.

Tend to happen in real life as well...

 

A couple years ago, two Phantoms had their rear canopies blown off by VIP back seaters. One was at Oshkosh and one was at DM during Heritage Flight Conference. IIRC, both were politicians...
