I was flying the front seat on a low altitude practice intercept mission with target below me at 1000 ft. As I was overtaking the target, my instructor, Dick Hoover, took control and made a climbing left turn and was rolling back to the right at about 4500 ft when the engine failed. He rolled wings level and began gliding. I attempted several restarts with no luck. At 1700 feet Dick ordered ejection and we both ejected. I landed safely, he suffered back injury that resulted in permanen t paralyzation from his waist down. Engine failed due to fuel control failure.
