Slightly off the thread (but in sympathy with it) I was flying with a friend over Cape Cod in a 172, when he started to open the RH door window catch to get a better picture with his camera!
I stopped him before he got the window opened, but have always wondered if the slipstream would have removed it as its only held on by a "piano lid hinge"
Anyone with personal experience?
PS: I now always include windows in my safety brief (if they open!)
