It happened a while back in an F-22 Raptor
Geez, what an idiot!

Why did he not just pull the emergency canopy release handle? It's generally painted in very prominent colours - black/yellow/red stripes!

Don't know where it is on a Raptor - down between ya legs or above ya head - but it is generally covered in the endorsement.

It is a great system in the Raptor - not only opens the canopy but assists you in egressing (?) the aircraft as well!
