Taken at a Keesler AFB open house. Close up shot. Notice the canopy is not all the way up, barely cracked open in fact. Can see two of the canopy latches and angle of mirrors. Through the windscreen can be seen the gun sight. Notice how close the 3 is to the anti-glare panel demarcation.
For what it's worth, the canopy is halfway through the process of being closed. When the canopy is lowered, hits a stop at the position in your photo. The canopy then has to be raised slightly, and can then be completely lowered.
ReplyDeleteAt least.. that's what I recall from when I worked on TA-4F's in the late 70's and early 80's.
Did not know that. Thanks.
