I landed without incident (except for the whole shaking cabin and
missing hood) but it was a complete non-event.

Just had to jump in here and agree. I had the door on my Warrior pop open
on my turn to crosswind after take-off. In the hot Texas summer, I leave
the door open as long as possible to try to keep the cabin temp a little
cooler than a gas oven. I guess I missed the overhead latch after run-up.
I went ahead an made my turn to downwind and reached over and tried to close
the door with my free hand. You already know that didn't work. I reduced
power and slowed to about 70 Kias and kicked in a lot of right rudder.
Closed it with one hand and departed the pattern. Definitely a
non-life-threatening event.

Its a lot more exciting to say the PM cheated death than the truth.
