Read this a while back. I guess the testicular fortitude of the pilot may have helped some.

Reminds me of that old saying about making a brick fly with enough thrust, but the asymmetry must have been a bitch.

F-15s have tail hooks?
I did not know their airframes were designed to withstand arresting cable landings.

With enough power, you can fly a brick. The F-15 has enormous power. It goes vertical and accelerates faster than the Apollo rocket system...up to a point that is.

FYI...went to site and watched vid.
Started getting indications of malware infection.
Found “BUEGEVO.EXE” in subdir “DIEKIZS” dated today.
Am taking measures to remove.
Letting y’all know in case anyone runs into same.
Thanks!

Is the F-15 one of the last of the slide-rule fighters?
