I had a incident of smoke in the cabin and the situation becomes dire in about 5 seconds. I was able to open the canopy (and yet another argument for foreword tilting canopy), Vision and breathing restored I was then able to asses the situation. And make the decisions needed. (in my case it was making an airport and salvaging me and the plane). > Just food for thought, > Joe Horton, > N357CJ
