Canopy opens at 6:22
Thanks. Link updated to skip ahead.
Oh my god the poor lass aged about 25 years from the wind blast
Anybody with experience want to talk about how/why this happened? Seems like part of the problem was the small opening on the right side of the plane. But I imagine its should be designed to not break so easily considering the use case. In addition, I'm surprised the canopy would open instead of staying locked. Good thing this pilot didn't panic and was experienced enough to still safely land the plane.
It's in the description of the video, the canopy locking pin wasn't locked and she failed to notice during visual checks
(ಠ益ಠ)
Fuck it's so hard to see going that fast. The side eye head turn peripheral move is the only way to see. Her eyes were prolly watering till the next day tho lol.
Wouldn't it make sens to wear a helmet, with goggles and all?
These are extremely rare events. It would be like wearing a helmet in case your windshield fell out. Having some in the cockpit for emergencies could help, but I don't know if it would be possible to put them on while handling said emergency.
Anyone else thinks shes hot because shes doing cool stuff like flying and to that being brave as shit landing that plane like a pro. Not your average influencer making a makeup tutorial ;-P
