Either that or his "Eject" button wouldn't work  

Or maybe he just didn't trust it after hearing about him:

What's with the "knock it off, knock it off"?

Just figured that one out then. I think "knock it off" is in reference to the exercise that they were performing at the time, in the F-15 case, a practice dogfight.

If you watch the ground footage from the thunderbird incident, you can hear the command "Thunderbirds, knock it off", and then Thunderbirds one through to five all respond "knock it off". As a side note, the ejection of the canopy and the ejection seat were in sync with the cheesy music.

As far as I know, the training instructors (and propably flight leaders in airshows) use "knock it off" to tell everyone to break off from maneuvers when something looks wrong or is wrong.

Yeah, but the primary purpose for using "Knock it off" is for mock engagements and Red Flag exercises.  I assure you, if you don't listen to ATC or AWACS after two KIO's, you'll definately be in deep shit when you land.  Maybe even get your flying status revoked for 3 months to 1 year, depending on the severity of ignoring orders to stop engagement and wait on station for orders.

They don't screw around on enforcing the rules in Mock engagements, that I can assure you that...

Can those pilots be a little more careful with those milion-dollar (TAX-PAYED) aircraft

Hey, if you try and defy gravity again and again, she's going to do her best to make sure you realize that its her playing field!

Gravity is a harsh mistress.
