The mini-drama unfolded on 10 April at the 27th Fighter Squadron's base at Langley AFB, Virginia, when the canopy "became stuck in the down and locked position and could not be opened manually after the pilot cycled the mechanism several times, following a pre-flight warning that the canopy was unlocked".

When airplanes attack.

I still find it funny this was the only way they could get the guy out. I would have guessed a mechanic could have removed some panels and then removed the canopy. They will definately need a mechanic now.
