OK, maybe it only seemed that loud because there was no warning. In any case, Coke went everywhe on me, on the cockpit walls, on the instrument panel, but mostly up on the inside of the canopy. Try wiping off sugary soda with the paper napkin that was previously wrapped around a peanut butter sandwich."

Worse outside on the wings of a Kestrel or Nimbus; reminds me of the report of
