The ejector seat would have a black and yellow handle. Just thought I
would let you know :-)


Oh, dangtarnit. What does the red handle do?

You have got me there :-)

It's been getting on for 8 years since I worked in the aerospace
industry. International orange was used for the inside of external door
handles to alert ground crew / tower that there was a catch undone, or a
door open.. I can't remember anything that was red.
