I'd have to go with a Viper for best current crop view. Better than an
Eagle, because you don't have to go around twin tails or big intakes.
I suspect that -22 is going to be equally good. I recall that -23 was
designed to be pretty good as well, although I left the program before
I saw if they could cast a bubble that big and that narrow without
distortion.


Ed, is that true? Are canopies "cast"?
For some reason I thought they were formed from sheet material.
