Israeli pilot lost half of the starboard wing of his F-15 from a midair with an A-4. Fuel spray blocked vision, so extent of damage wasn’t clear, only knew roll control was sluggish and sloppy. As stated, he came in for a hot landing and then the extent of the damage was evident. Wasn’t supposed to fly, but did!

Correction gratefully accepted. I think I confused the IAF incident with the disintegration of am Missouri ANG F-15C around that same time, give or take.
