I am telling this because the info may save a life in your country. I flew the T-37 in 1973 as a foreign student at pilot training in the american Air Training Command. The t-37 was my first jet. I love the aircraft, but my first soloflight after 7-8 hours of training was scary. Before that I had almost 50 hours of flight training with small propeller planes, so I was unexperienced. The solo-mission was simple - to complete one take-off and one landing. The airspace was crowded as there were two runways with students taking off and landing all day long. I took off, raised the wheels and prepaired for the initial turn with a 60 degree bank at approximately 200 feet altitude. As I pulled the stick back, thereby loading the wings, the seat lock broke loose and the seat slided down to the cockpit floor with a bang and locked there. I could see nothing except my knees and some of the instruments. I was blinded at low altitude in a crowded airspace, but worse than that - I was at 60 degree bank and probably loosened the pull at the stick when the seat broke loose. My first thought was a remark from one the flight instructors (not my own) "If anything goes wrong, get your wings level first". I could see the artificial horizon and used it for levelling and for establishing a moderate climp, 10 degrees, and after a couple of seconds I trimmed the elevators roughly, getting ready for pushing the seat back up again. I looked at the altimeter, aiming for 800 feet. Then I made the first try to unlock the seat and push it back up where I could see through the windows. But it was impossible to raise the seat without pushing the stick forward a little bit. So as the seat slided up it accelerated quickly and made me push more to the stick forward. One moment later the seat banged against the uppermost position and locked there. I pulled negative g's, and now I was standing up with my helmet pressed against the canopy - and the plane was in a dive towards the ground. But I could see it, so I pulled back and levelled off, finding my 800 feet. I was not blinded anymore but I would not dare to land the aircraft with that seatposition. So far I had only landed very few times - and in a comfortable seatposition, where I could judge the horizon against the window-rails. Landing in a standing position seemed impossible, and I did not want to die trying. The seat had to get to a middle position first. A couple of tries later I knew that every attempt to raise the seat would result in a dive - and every attempt to lower the seat would result in a climp. So If I had tried to raise the seat immediately when it fell the first time, would have killed me. I now turned the aircraft into a circle, because I did not want to get too far away from the airfield. At that time I knew next to nothing about navigation, and the Texan desert looks completely the same everywhere. I just had to stay close to the airfield. Staying in outer part of the control zone would also isolate me from civilian traffic. Eventually I succeeded in getting the seat in a "close-enough for landing" position. I knew I had to tell tower what had happened, but english is not my native language, and I needed time to figure out what to say. While I was contemplating about that I saw an opening in the crowded landing pattern. One student had taken longer to complete his take-off checks, so there was space in the pattern in front of him. I took af quick decision and entered the landing pattern on the downwind leg, right between two airplanes. It worked. I completed my downwind checks faster than usual and got ready for the next turn in time. Landing was thrilling, knowing that my seat was several inches higher than I had tried before with an instructor next to me. But all went well. As I taxied off the runway I realized that I had just flown blindfolded near the ground, done aerobatics in a heavyly crowded control zone, and entered the landing pattern without telling tower. I decided to keep quiet about the incident if possible, because other student were returned every week to their home countries - for errors that sometimes seemed small. Entering downwind without clearence might have resulted in my exit from the traning program. I was not ready to give up my fighterpilot job yet, so I kept silent. Just one thing I did differently from that time on: While strapping into the seat before a flight, I would jump up and down as hard as I could. I suggest You do too, you pakistani top guns! Happy flying to you!!! I miss it.
That must have been extremely thrilling. I think you should've informed the tower when your seat slammed down so that they could've cleared the airspace for you rather than send you back because it wasn't your fault that the seat slammed back.

Sir, I really like your content but can you please put your more time and effort in making it cooler? like if you are using premiere pro you should try out some premium luts that are absolutely free. That will make videos way better and attractive. That's not a criticism, it's just my opinion.
and boys dont have DSLR or 4k Gopro to make content usually they use android phone with 13 to 14 mp camera.. which is the reason behind low quality content.....
