Anybody have an idea of what this canopy was used on? I guess an early jet, but would like to see what the group thinks it's from. No comment on the funky door handle...

You get that from the State Armory bar in Greeley when it closed and they moved the B-17 fuselage out? They had two canopy windows upstairs so you could see down onto the stage, looked like they were from an F-86 or P-47 or something, never did find out...

Looks like a F3H Demon canopy, in spite of the door handle.

Here's a photo of F3H Demons. In the foreground is a close up view of the canopy with the rear formers. (Source: US Navy Archives.) VL
