oops, there went $15mil *splash*
I'm reading Wired magazine about treasure hunters bringing up gold from the bottom of the sea and they're talking about mapping the ocean floor:
"over the years, the crew has found everything from Spanish galleons to what seems to be an F-16 fighter jet off North Carolina. They told the Navy about the F-16. The Navy shrugged. Apparently, it happens."
:chuckles:

Ejection seats if activated will launch at 30 Gs, so by the time you pull the handle and start your decent is roughly 2.5 seconds. Most pilots black out and wake up as they are decending.
Also due to the high Gs, your spinal cord compresses 2-3 inches. So one ejection will shorten the pilot 2 to 3 inches. but over time you'll gain half to 2/3 of your height back, but still remain a bit shorter.
3 ejections and you aren't allow to fly anymore.
