Sucked away wld be more correct. The air impacting the front part of the canopy result in a low pressure zone on it's rear half. However on many planes with a 3 part canopy did I heard story of the bailing pilots having to push hard with hands or even feet to help the process. Though I don't think it wld hve been the case in a bubble top Mustang.
I only hope it does not makes any nasty translation in English. If so ooops
