Taiwan disclosed on Mar. 22 that it will be fitting teh Martin Baker Mk16 ejection seat on its F-5 Tiger fleet.
The information was given to local reporters during a press briefing by the Air Force on the fatal collision of two F-5Es that day.
Maj. Gen. Lin Chih-Hung, head of Air Force Logistic Command, said the new seats will be arriving to the island by end of the year.
Media outlets in Taiwan also reported that one of the F-5E pilots who ejected during the Mar. 22 accident had suffered head injuries which lead to internal bleeding.
An earlier crash of the F-5E in October last year killed Capt. Lo Shang-hua. It was found that he had suffered injuries from the ejection. This lead to calls to replace the ejection seat on the F-5.
