Holy cow he just barely got away with it, perhaps that may be called a golden bb but I might be wrong but for sure the pilot got away with it due to training and surely good luck.Excellent landing.

Damaged and no flaps!

Excellent landing with that much damage: respect!

well done, congratulations to the pilot experience and training. From the Caribean

Well the Serbs hit him but they didnt get him and they didnt get to take pictures of each other posing on the wreckage because this young French pilot stayed cool and brought that baby back.
He's ok, France doesnt lose an expensive airplane and his family was happy too!
Greetings from California.

@aitouammi I'm not exaggerating I retired after 20 years in the US Navy with tours on the USS Kitty Hawk , CV-63 and USS Constellation, CV-64 and I've seen plenty of damaged aircraft land on a flight deck, that was a professional landing.
