  • He had to toss a ciggy butt...

  • @emp29 Had that happen to me in a 172 out of KDPA. It was my first time flying in that area and I was going to take a tour of downtown with a local CFI. Door popped open on takeoff, stayed in the pattern, full stop, shut it, same things happens on take off again! She asked if I wanted to just not take the tour, but I said an unlatched door wouldn't keep me from taking that tour! You really cannot tell except it is a little louder than usual in the cabin.

  • @burrysw no shit ... -___-

  • @burrysw why would you eject if the aircraft worked fine, it's just a bit chilly

  • hmmmm, i think there is a draft......

  • AH, It's fucking warm in here!

  • worlds fastest convertible

  • Why didn't he just snap roll to the right? LOL

  • no damage dont worry its gonna be fine.

  • The slip must have created a low pressure over the canopy sucking it open from the upwind side.
