F-15 landed Safety with 1wing

[AsiaSRC]

OMG!
Look likes some photoshop works
such damages, for sure Boieng have doubts about those shots too!

[nixaad]

and no wonder the RSAF bought these fighters over the newer and uber l33t euro planes. :P

the F 15 has got to be light (no weapons.. no cannon bullets even)

2nd is the electronic flight computer compensating every movement of the aircraft... the person of course has basic control...

(i wonder how he can take the master caution ringing constantly.. if i were him.. i'd ditched the whiny aircraft)

there are militaristic reasons why RSAF buys the F 15... not just on its capabilities alone

we have an agreement wif USA... when there is crisis in SEA... we supply the equipment.. they supply the manpower...

Aircraft Carrier (Pacific Fleet) takes at least 3 days to reach SEA if on patrol... USA can just fly pilots into SG within 24 hrs, climb into our planes, which are pasted with their sqn insignias and go...

Came across this. Check it out..
It can even land with just 1 wing attached ..
No wonder why RSAF wanna buy this Jet ...
Perhaps I shall built one of this and try flying with 1 wing.. Haha..

Well sookainian.. I guess its a open secret. It was even mentioned on the papers when RSAF confirmed to replace the exsiting one with this Jet..
Anyway, if can get from the net, dont think its a secret anymore..

Good search nic
So sookainian, do you still thinks that its a top secret stuff?

[justin]

dunno wad will happen

believed more on this "unauthoised" bomb drop pic
then those 1 wings fall15 shots were true! any the video footage in?

If that was to be A10, definitely win my vote! but still 1 wing missing is too much. I mean with video footage to back that this plane really take heavy purishment and still fly during .....lo.

F15 has superior airframes designs, at least from 1/10 rc jet flyer point of views. The fuse body itself provide a true "floater" and with movable intakes if install, it acted like carnards to the plane. very easy to predict in most speed pockets. track well by it twin tails and coupled with it's powerful pair of RUBs with little ailerons added, unlimited rolls and rolls.

And strong believer that F15 can fly without ailerons, BTW, f15 land on elevon mode.

Maybe also should considered this stunting story to sell our 1/10 F15 well too!
Just my 0.02cents worth!

how about this one?

These 2 F18s collided in midair..





Plane #2

[AsiaSRC]

Man! you win my heart and soul down to my toes!

That is actually I meant, most modern jets including F15s "can" sustain this kind damages, and of course also up to the pilot to finish up the job.

Just wonder how many us here seem a real fighters jet crash? it will burn straight down to your soul.. And to see these pilots bring back their belovered damaged jets by setting their life aside. Perhaps, this is a real true jets lovers after all!
