Re: 48hr Photo Comp: Open Canopies
Yet another fun idea for a theme. 3 from me:
First one of my favourites at RIAT 2015 - open canopy and and open 'bonnet'!
P1110714 by Chris Strawson, on Flickr
I like this one because there's all sorts of stuff in it, sticking out in all sorts of directions, so the addition of the mess in the background sort of adds to it (at least that's my excuse!)

And then an opened up T.2 - it was a shame you couldn't have a look inside

Re: 48hr Photo Comp: Open Canopies
Not sure if this counts, but what a lovely workhorse, Farnborough 1994
19940910-05 Farnborough = Wessex HC2 XT604 by Melvin Furster, on Flickr
Plenty of open canopies, Mollis Switzerland 1999
19991021 Mollis = F-5E Flightline (1) by Melvin Furster, on Flickr
Last one is a special one for me. XT914 is the only RAF Phantom I ever saw flying, it was at a beach airshow at Scheveningen the Netherlands in June 1992.
Almost 28 years later I met her again at Wattisham, this hobby is sometimes somewhat romantic and emotional...
The weather played ball and I love the light streak in the sky above the nose, might be an airliner or a genuine meteor, don't know.

Jaguar
Cockpit-open Wessex (with bonus side door).
Great minds think alike. John Peters must have been duty static pilot for season 1991! Here he is with 'Garfield' at Leuchars in September.

Another fine competition to force a look through the old collection.
I always like a twin piston with a forest of guns sticking out:

Re: 48hr Photo Comp: Open Canopies
There's something very bad-ass about a combat jet taxying out with the canopy open, something that's now impossible in lot of modern fighter aircraft. This Hellenic Phantom is seen enroute to the runway for the morning launch at Tactical Weapons Meet 2017.
Next time you watch a warbird pilot taxy their aircraft, you'll notice the "Gangster Lean" out of the cockpit, now I've highlighted it. Peter Teichman used the rock the look very well.
Finally, another fast-jet. Just because the F-5E Tiger II is just a cool looking machine, from any angle, even with the canopy open.
