Have never seen glass opacity set to zero, usually 25 to 40 is good with a specilar level of about 77. You also might have a drawing order problem. Not knowing what program you are using, I would clone/copy and paste the canopy, and delete the original, then make it a child your fuselage.

How did you link the object? Are you linking the canopy to the fuselage or the Fuselage to the canopy? If so, try to NOT link them [keep them separate]. It usually works for me.

What's weird, is that the seats cast no shadow either.

You could prob solve this making the fuselage a two-sided object. ?
