What is what looks like metallic tape in some sort of a pattern you can see on
the canopy of some jet fighters?

Thanks. Makes sense to me now, except I always thought the whole canopy just
jettisoned before the seat was shot out..

That is the way they were done in the old days.
It takes too long for the canopy to get out of the way.

Okay, thanks.
