That F-22 pilot looks like he's about 14. On a serious note, 182K for a canopy malfunction is far better than some other malfunction that could have resulted in loss of the airplane and/or pilot. In the old days (1950s especially) crashes of new fighters were common and many streets on Edwards AFB are named after dead test pilots.

The muscle car of the skies

I think they are a little off on their survivor count of 60 since over 100 of these with be at the "Gathering of Mustangs" in September. There are likely over 10 just in the Mpls area alone.
