Bryan,
   I had my door come unlatched after takeoff a couple of times during the first year I was flying (operator error due to not going fully over center with the handle).  The hooks on the latches catch on the rollers and the door will not open.  I tried as hard as I could to pull the door back in enough to re-latch it and I couldn't do it, which really makes me wonder if it's even possible to open the door inflight.  In each case, I had to land to get the door closed again.
   See you at the fly-in.  Kris Storkersen and I are flying up together Saturday morning in either his Legacy or my ES.
