Japan's NHK website reported on November 2 that an F-2 fighter of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces had an accident in which the canopy fell off during a flight on October 10, along with an emergency boarding ladder weighing 90 kilograms. The fighter was in emergency take-off to deal with an unidentified aircraft that might have violated its airspace, and the dropped canopy and ladder have not yet been found.
According to the report, the Japan Air Self-Defense Force recently said that the reason for the cockpit cap falling off is speculated to be that the pilot did not lock the cockpit cover, and the fighter took off urgently under such circumstances.
