Hehehe..... once in the USAF, training to do an engine start on the T-33A trainer jet, I was in the back cockpit, and heard someone yell "FIRE!" I slid out of the seat, under the canopy rail and slid HEADFIRST down the airplane's side, hit the concrete & rolled and was up in a dead run, 50 yards from the airplane - when they yelled out there was NO fire! This 'Wolf don't like fire.........
That was a cruel trick But undoubtedly very comforting that your reflexes and survival instincts would see you through a real fire incident. It underscores the benefit of practicing immediate action drills.
