The canopy over the cockpit of a jet aircraft flew off
while in flight during the Classic Jet Aircraft Association air show Saturday in Fairhope,
according to the local photographer who caught the incident on camera.

The show began Thursday, with classic aircraft taking to the skies on Friday.
About 10 a.m. Saturday, a Russian Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 took off from the Fairhope Airport.

Shortly after liftoff, the canopy broke away from the Korean War-era aircraft, according to local photographer Montie Mann.

“I wasn’t sure what was happening at first,”
Mann said of his reaction when he saw the canopy through his lens.
“It all happened so quickly. When I looked up, I saw the canopy falling to the ground.
