EXECUTIVES GET A LIFT WITH EJECTION SEAT

SAN DIEGO (Wireless Flash) -- A Cold War memorabilia outfit has found a novel way to recycle used ejection seats from old B-52 bombers: It's turning them into plush executive chairs. The Sovietski Collection, which hawks old Russian and U.S. Cold War memorabilia, is hoping CEOs will get a lift from the ejection seat office chairs, which sell for almost $3000. The B-52s original shoulder harness and oxygen hose are left intact on the new chair, but the explosive ejection feature has been disabled. However, frustrated executives can still play with two yellow pull handles that were originally used to eject the seat from the plane.
