The photo shows the aircraft just off the runway with the gear still down. I sincerely doubt he even had time to think about opening the canopy.

Possibly he knew he was going down and opened the canopy to assure he could get out after the crash? No one knows I guess. My instructors taught me that 25 years ago. Tighten the seatbelts, crack open the door. Sad news indeed. I saw the plane the day before and it was a beauty.

Can the the angle the photo was taken from create this much of an optical illusion?
