Just an interesting story to me, though."What if there were no hypothetical questions?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but they can even bring down airliners and not many pilots have the skills of Chesley Sullenberger... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
