Got a note from Mark this AM. The aft fastener in the rail was clearly the wrong
fastener. I too have noted the canopies agitation during runup and had always
been confident it would not give way. The heat here in Mississippi is brutal
even during the brief runup period but I guess a little sweat beats the bucks
it is going to take to replace the canopy and it's components.
Glad I was at home whebn it happened had just completed a 12 day 21 hr trip through
the Southwest the day before. Would hate to have been on the road and lost
it.
Let me be clear there was no risk of this happening in flight it was, I am sure,
a matter of an incorrect fastener and induced fatigue as noted above.
Check and make sure you have the correct fasteners in the slide rail.
