Title: Group 13, 1990 ASCAN Cockrell in ejection seat trainer at Vance AFB, Oklahoma

Description:

Group 13, 1990 Astronaut Candidate (ASCAN) Kenneth D. Cockrell, wearing 
flight suit and helmet, anticipates the activation of the ejection seat on 
which he is sitting.  He is participating in one of many sessions conducted 
during a survival training course at Vance Air Force Base (AFB) in Enid, 
Oklahoma.  This portion of the survival training course is designed to 
familiarize the trainee with the "feel" of emergency ejection from a jet 
aircraft. Cockrell, along with 22 other ASCANs, began a year's training and 
evaluation in July. This session was conducted from 07-29-90 through 
07-31-90.
