Canopy opening/closing on Dino's Tomcat

[Navy Chief]

This is the first time I have seen this happen. I open the canopy, and almost immediately after it opens, it appears closed! It will NOT stay open. Has this been reported by anyone?

Weird.

Never saw this happen on any other aircraft. It figures it would happen to ME! NC

If you are parked too close to the refueling pumps at an airfield, that happens. Try moving away and see what happens.

Yep, that was it! Just before I logged back on SOH to check for a reply to my post, I had moved to a different location on the flight line, and opened/closed the canopy.

I've had FSX since it was released, and I still keep learning! Thanks. NC

Glad it worked out for you.

This has actually happened to me in other aircraft and I never knew why it was an "intermittent" problem. Now I know! Thanks.
