It seems that he was providing the photo plane, his red Lockheed T-33, for a photographer who was making air-to-air photos for Cessna, when the photographer accidentally triggered the first stage of the ejection process, blowing the canopy. Fortunately, the second stage, seat ejection, was not initiated. Anyone on the LUG know any more about this? Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA http://gallery.leica-users.org/Musings/Red_Knight
