I found the pics of the canopy being open in flight and posted them to my website.

Enjoy

Those are amazing photos. Can you elaborate on the flight configuration. ie full power, no flaps, and what the pilot reported with respect to handling etc.
It is worthy of an entry into the pilots handbook if this condition should ever happen.
Any known differences between Jay's experience and this would be useful.
Thank goodness that Jay and friend were OK.

I will ask him to write to the list and tell his story for us. I will tell you he said he was so distracted he almost hit those wires you see in the photo's. I looked for those pic's for about 2 hours last night and really wanted to get them posted so if it happens to someone else they have proof it can be flown and might not panic in the same situation. I looked for them a while back when this subject came up and just gave up looking and now I am sorry I did because Jay might have handled his situation differently had he known it would fly and land just fine with it open. I feel as if I somehow let him down and this list for not posting them sooner.

Sorry we disagree with you Jay but I think this is the list to talk about this and help the next guy out and I can't understand why you are here if you don't see that.

I thank you all for this subject. I had thought about a safety strap "in case" but put it on the bottom of my to do list. Not now. I WILL have a safety strap. One that can be opened by rescue personel if needed....

Don't worry too much about rescue personal access. Every fireman I've ever known would look at our canopies and open it with their axe.
