A-6 crash after launch? OBTW
"Mike Kanze" wrote...
A-6 tribal folklore during the early 1970s dictated that one NEVER blew the canopy prior to ejection, for the very reasons you cite. Better to get Plexiglas cuts than... Even when I flew it in the 80s through '93, there were MANY "old hands" who wouldn't even think of blowing the canopy! Off the cat it was a no-brainer, but even for the times when you had the time to think about it, there were few who would risk a partial canopy jettison (regardless of whether it would take off the vertical stab).
