It is hard to believe that F-15 can fly formation with Piper Cub.

I've seen thirty F/A-18s and six "Ducks" fly in formation, too. It
didn't last very long, though. Ditto the F-15 and the A-37. They
only have to be in the proper relative position long enough for the
photographer to get the photo.

Do F-15 fly by wire system prevent the aircraft from stalling at that low
speed? Last time I saw an aircraft with fly by wire system did such a
stunt, Airbus plowed right in to the forest at the end of the forest!

The F-15 isn't fly-by-wire. It's augmented, but not fly-by-wire.
