The experimental Evolution Air built Lancair Evolution, experienced an inflight windshield separation and subsequent force landing to a farm field west of Firebaugh, California, while attempting to reach Firebaugh Airport (F34). The private pilot and 2 rear seat passengers were uninjured. Two passengers received minor injuries.
The departure, climb out, and most of the cruise flight was smooth and uneventful; however, further into the flight, at an altitude of 25,000 feet, the windshield “exploded” instantaneously without any pre-indication.
