Yesterday I was going to fly along side Paul for a trip over his new home site.
Was not to happen, I had be come complacent about the canopy locking mechanism in my -4 from taxi to run-up. During run-up the canopy lifted up and over( Dammit) and stopped on the wing destroying the center support of the canopy frame
here are some pic's

Remember we are Aviators and complacency can ruin your canopy or more
