That "brick" derives a portion of its lift from the body... so even with
one wing gone, it wasnt missing "50%" of its lift...

and.. yea.. thrust is a WONDERFUL thing..

The History Channel had a program on the F-15 last night
(Friday,040430).
Included was an interview with the Israeli pilot and footage of the
aircraft inbound, on approach and landing.
No other word for it, ... just incredible!


I saw that, too. Inspiring! Just goes to show what one can do if you just
KEEP FLYING THE PLANE.
I guess it also shows that with enough power, a brick will fly.
