This story is so bizarre, it's pobably true:

 

A Russian movie company hires two Sukhoi pilots to film a couple of stunts. The pilots agree to take off without a canopy.

 

Apparently following a plot-twist in the film, the back-seat pilot ejects from the aircraft while the front-seater keeps flying.

 

The front-seater later claims he flew beyond Mach 2.0 ... with an open canopy! And then he says: "While on this speed I even managed to pull out my fingers in glove for an inch or two outside - it became heated very fast because of immense friction force plane undergoes with the air."

 

Crazy ? NUTS !

That is an awesome picture! It like the ejection seat booster rocket has heated the airframe so hot it's blue. Hottest blue being right at the flames. Lol
