F-15 flies on one wing

11/16/08

This YouTube video seems to defy physics. The F-15 is the most successful fighter ever flown. It has never been shot down in air-to-air combat. It’s a popular fighter and has been purchased by several nations.

Israel was the first country to get F-15s in the early ‘80s. An early test flight showed just how durable the fighter is. During training exercises two pilots collided in midair.

One pilot safely ejected. The other was able to regain control of his fighter. He was able to land the plane safely. Upon exiting, he realized he’d done the impossible. He had been flying his fighter with only one wing.
