But remember, those windows are flimsy. If you don't open them and you've just got to get out, I bet you could go through them (pushing them out of the grooves). Don't waste time in an emergency, just go through the sliding windows. OTOH, don't count on being able to push through the windows. Maybe you'll be injured or something. Open them before landing if the situation permits. -- Ed Burkhead Peoria, Ill. N3802H
