I'm surprised that KM-1Ms were still in working condition after all this time.

I'm not, that bird has never seen better care than in private collector hands. No expense spared.

The preliminary report now sheds some more light on what happened, and it appears that the ejection was initiated by the backseater while the pilot was still troubleshooting engine problems.
