Looks like they used front end loaders to lift the airframe and get the crew out. That D canopy is pretty long, so imagine quite a bit of lifting required to get both out. Lots of things to consider with safing the seats and the canopy. Hope all the best for them. An incentive ride to remember for the maintainer!
