How Did This F-15 Land With One Wing?



In 1983, during a training dogfight, an F-15 lost almost its entire right wing in a mid-air collision, and its crew still landed it. The other jet’s pilot ejected and survived. No one was killed.
How: at high speed its wide, flat body made enough lift; slowing down meant losing control. It touched down at about twice its normal landing speed.
