Actually, he was. If you look closely, he and his lovely wife Doris

The canopy conundrum was because they built a mockup that reversed the
canopy hinge so that, wait for it, they could shoot Rene Russo's better
side.

However, Tom Knauff did fly in the re-make of the "Thomas Crown Affair"
(bu=
t wasn't on camera). Does that make Tom a famous glider pilot? ;-)


Why did the canopy open on the correct side of the Duo when they got in,
and the other side when they got out?
