On Thursday evening, 22 October 2026, two U.S. Air Force pilots in a <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/t-6-texan-ii\/\">T-6A Texan II<\/a> decided, with expert advice from the ground, that the safest way to finish their flight was not to land at all.<\/p><p>The pair ejected near Seguin, Texas, about 35 miles east of San Antonio, just before 6 p.m. local time, after their trainer showed unsafe landing gear indications. Both were recovered safely and were being checked by medical personnel. Joint Base San Antonio described the ejection as &ldquo;a controlled bailout&rdquo;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#f4f6f9;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:18px 22px;margin:28px 0\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;color:#0d1117;font-size:17px\">Quick Facts<\/p><p style=\"margin:5px 0;font-size:15px;color:#333\"><strong>Aircraft:<\/strong> Beechcraft T-6A Texan II, single-engine, two-seat primary trainer<\/p><p style=\"margin:5px 0;font-size:15px;color:#333\"><strong>Unit:<\/strong> 12th Flying Training Wing, headquartered at JBSA-Randolph<\/p><p style=\"margin:5px 0;font-size:15px;color:#333\"><strong>When:<\/strong> 22 October 2026, about 5:51 p.m. local time<\/p><p style=\"margin:5px 0;font-size:15px;color:#333\"><strong>Where:<\/strong> Near Seguin, Texas, close to the Guadalupe-Wilson county line<\/p><p style=\"margin:5px 0;font-size:15px;color:#333\"><strong>Problem:<\/strong> Unsafe landing gear indications<\/p><p style=\"margin:5px 0;font-size:15px;color:#333\"><strong>Outcome:<\/strong> Both pilots ejected in a controlled bailout and were recovered safely<\/p><p style=\"margin:5px 0;font-size:15px;color:#333\"><strong>Status:<\/strong> Cause under investigation; pilots not named<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">What happened near Seguin<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>According to the Joint Base San Antonio release, reported by KSAT and CBS News, the crew received unsafe landing gear indications and talked the problem through with experts, who recommended that they bail out rather than attempt a landing. Reports also describe a hard landing at an uncontrolled airfield; the base has not explained the exact sequence of events.<\/p><p>The Wilson County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office responded to the area around Nockenut Road and Lynn Drive and said there was no threat to the public. The pilots&rsquo; names and conditions were not released, and the cause of the landing gear indication is under investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7\"><div><em>&ldquo;After receiving unsafe landing gear indications, the pilots consulted with experts&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>Joint Base San Antonio<\/strong> &mdash; news release, 22 October 2026, as quoted by KSAT<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0 8px\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fCD47CISrxY\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin:0 0 24px;font-style:italic\">KSAT 12 reports on the ejection near Seguin, 22 October 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Why bail out of a working aeroplane?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>A gear problem sounds minor next to an engine failure, but in a small trainer it can turn a routine landing into a gamble. If the gear will not lock down, a belly landing risks the aircraft flipping or catching fire on the runway. When experts on the ground judge that risk to be higher than the risk of ejecting, a planned bailout over open country, at a chosen speed and height, is the conservative option.<\/p><p>The T-6A gives its crews that choice. Both seats in the tandem cockpit are Martin-Baker zero-zero ejection seats, and the canopy is fitted with a detonating cord so the seats can fire straight through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/10\/t-6a-texan-ii-pilots-eject-seguin-texas-2026-img1.jpg\" alt=\"A T-6A Texan II flying alongside an original North American T-6 Texan\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">A T-6A Texan II from Randolph flies alongside its namesake, an original North American T-6 Texan.
