    Hi Run,

    Are there lines on the canopy to help the pilot when engaging an enemy aircraft? I think it's something to do with helping the pilot make the right AOA when falling on a bandit's tail?

    Oh one interesting thing to mention is that I've seen some fighters with canopy's painted on the underneath side of the cockpit area to fool the enemy in a dogfight. Does this really work?

    Kind Regards

    Rapier
