F-15 flying with one wing by an Israeli Pilot

in the year 1983 an F-15 of the Israeli airforce collided with a skyhawk while doing a practice. the skyhawk blew away but the pilot abandoned it peacefully. the f-15 lost his right wind but the pilot Ziv Nadivi couldnt see it because of the vast fuel fumes that covered it. the pilot and the navigator Yehuar Gal didnt not know they are flying on one winf only, a state which is of course "impossible" to fly in, and didnt not abandoned the jet but continued to land a crash landing. because of the high velocity of the jet (450kmph) while landing, the stopping hook was cut away and the jet stopped a few meters before the end of the runway.

after more than 20 years, we can finally see the movie.

@mhodzic7 And their ground forces can easily take on most armies of the world, they have been kicking asses since '48, from the first day Israel was declared a state.

[aroniense21]

@mhodzic7 Yet they have the most skilled air force, more than half of the air kills of the F-16 Fighting Falcon and the F-15 Eagle come from IDF Forces......

@xFiredrake97x Ummmm NO. Israel has what they have BECAUSE of US. Thanks for commenting tho, tool.

[Hfajardo97]

@xFiredrake97x Best Air Force, yes. Best military tech, no. US has the best military tech in the world and that is essentially a fact. That is the reason why we are in a recession. Our government spends too much time in military tech.

[xFiredrake97x]

Israel has the best air force and military tech in the world. Just be glad there friends with us here in America or we would be toast. Thank you Gad!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@cesium0133 Back to the same situation then. Overall, I guess he did managed to save his plane. We all know that the Israeli Air Force Academy is one of the best (if not the best) pilot school on the planet. I wouldn't be surprised if that son of a bitch did managed to land that plane safely. Those israelis must recruit pilots from hell, cause they sure are good. About the whole situation, the Israeli government must have kept the details in secret, so our only choice is to speculate.

@intruderalert01 Well, you can try this:

Try: sky-high.co.il/134771/תאונת-בז­-957--מרקיע-שחקים-

(Hebrew. Google Translate does an miserable job, but you can see there's a book reference at the start). Legend has it the pilot was demoted one rank for disobeying an order to eject, and then was promoted a rank for saving the plane...
