Sometimes it's the small details that make you smile

... even after the recent events. Didn't know that:

Technically there is SMDC (Shielded Mild Detonating Cord) all the way around the base of the canopy, so there shouldn't be any plexiglass left on the canopy at all.

 

 

It would be even cooler if the emergency canopy fracturing handle would work on the ground to do that for when the pilot is stuck in the canopy and can't eject (mostly ground emergencies such as crash landing and can't open the canopy due to the canopy step being jammed/stuck.) It's a metal cable that's connected to the black and yellow D-handle and is about 10-15 inches long. It gives just enough slack to crouch down and then a good tug blows the canopy, assuming the safety pin is pulled out just behind the seat checklist on the port side canopy rail.

Looks quite odd seeing so much sharp shards still stuck to the plane.

If only they had the same attention to details on systems.

Thx, nice video and slow motion effect :).
