October 21, 201411 yr The wings still look like they're in excellent condition. I'm sure they'll have the plane rebuilt and flying within the next couple years.
October 22, 201411 yr Glad everyone ended up making it through, rule of threes had another mishap coming, happy that last two ended with code 1 personnel
February 20, 201510 yr Here's an update: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2015/02/20/near-miss-this-f-16-landed-after-half-its-wing-was-sheared-off/ Edited February 20, 201510 yr by Milchstrasse
February 21, 201510 yr I thought that was a BFM tactic. Like a lizard that can shed its tail to distract a predator.
February 22, 201510 yr nbd: Yeah, but could the 15 have done it single engine though? Edited February 22, 201510 yr by Gus Chiggins
February 22, 201510 yr The real question is why would you want to fly on a single engine? To be relevant in combat for the past 15 years.
February 22, 201510 yr Last week: Who needs two wings when you have high thrust to weight, and lots of rudder authority.
February 23, 201510 yr To be relevant in combat for the past 15 years. Hah! That's rich. Impressive airmanship though.
February 23, 201510 yr nbd: That Israeli pilot never flew again. Actually got asked to leave the force
February 23, 201510 yr Dude, I'm getting out!https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-suffolk-31513257 Sounds like calm SA enhancing comm. As someone who was left to BFM a dude under chute, any skulls up comm is good, but not required.
