F15 Lands Safely With One Wing

One of my dad's buddies from work sent this link to us: http://airlinepilotcentral.com/web_...5_lands_safely_with_one_wing_20071220296.html

Absolutely extraordinary to say the least.

Holy hell. What's more impressive, the plane or the big brass ones on that pilot!

What's it been, 10, 15 years since that happened?

At least

25 years to be exact, but I still find it pretty interesting to watch.

A stout airframe and lots and lots of power...the Eagle is awesome.
I'd heard of this, but didn't know until now that he toughed it out because he didn't realize the wing was gone (fuel spray blocked his view)!

"Had I known, I would have ejected, because you... can't fly an airplane like that..." LOL

Too bad they are all grounded now.
