Not necessarily and the nose gear wouldn't be spinning prior to touchdown on landing, which is what is happening; note deployed speed brakes.
Early jet fighters with sliding canopies were able to be flown with the canopy slid back and it was fairly common during landings and takeoffs when egress systems weren't as reliable or capable as they are now.
Thanks.
Please take a look at #128 ...
I’ll withdraw the objections, but the picture still bugs me.
