I hate to hijack the thread, but I have to tell this. About 20 years ago, I drove to KGSO to get a part for my Bonanza at the FBO. When I drove up, I saw several really big military helicopters and a fighter jet on the ramp. I proceeded to the parts counter and asked the salesman what was going on. The jet fighter pilot was here to visit a family member while enroute to another military base. A new employee of the FBO watched the pilot get out of the plane and later decided he wanted to take a look in the cockpit. In the process of climbing up the side of the jet, he accidentally pulled the rescue handle and blew the canopy off the jet. The control tower is located beside the ramp where the jet was parked and the jettison rockets scared the heck out of the tower operators. The canopy came back down and landed on the jet. All I remember is seeing a whole bunch of really pi$$ed off military brass walking around the FBO.
