Narrative:
Recovering from a spin during spin training in a nose low attitude at 4;200 feet MSL at approximately 135 KIAS; the windscreen of the aircraft ejected off of the aircraft. The instructor pilot immediately took the controls and angled the aircraft towards the closest airport for landing. During the descent the instructor pilot slowed aircraft to limit drag and noise in cockpit and assessed the aircraft for further damage. Aircraft was set up for a straight in approach. Aircraft landed safely without further incident.
