Ya' know; I think that might have had a chance of working in my situation. An ejection seat manuever seemed to be my only hope but the 180 would have worked great if I could have pulled it off. Sure would have been better than landing flat on my back! The weird thing was I tried to do a basic bail but there was nothing under me but air.
