  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.
