Pilot locked in F22
For what a F22 costs you'd think they'd throw in an extra set of keys.

"Canopy replacement cost is $182,205." Ouch...I felt that in my wallet.

If those don't remove the canopy's incentive to remain attached, there's not much you can do about it. As a bonus, however, the seatback will punch through the canopy first, and you're wearing that fancy helmet. Worth a shot, at least! :P TheSmokingGnu

Not to be picky ... well, yes, *just* to be picky.... This story is "recycled" and was discussed at length a year ago--when it was initially posted. Peter
