We had a Cessna 421  out for a pressurization check the other night when the windscreen blew out. All  broken pieces went out into the slip screen and after the in rush pressurized  the cabin, there was no blast into the airplane. pilots reported a bit of noise  and one felt out for the windscreen and found it gone. They maintained 160Kts  back to base and landed. no injuries and I saw the airplane in the hangar  awaiting a new windscreen. It appears that if the back of the aircraft had an  exit point for the air the drag would have been  catastrophic.

But wait, I just saw a movie the other day where the wind was sucking everything out  of the airplane!  Glad to see physics still prevails over Hollywood, more importantly glad to hear everyone was okay.  Neat story, thanks for sharing it.
