Thank God for weight to thrust ratio. I saw video of a carrier landing like this just last week.

The incident was real, but the video is a reenactment, and a poor one at that.

I was at an airshow in San Antonio about 1985 and had a conversation with a Louisiana Air Guard pilot about the incident. He noted the capacity for the airframe's shape to still generate lift minus a wing given enough airspeed. He noted that the IAF pilot came in really hot on landing.
In touring the cockpit of that Air Guard F-15, I still remember how surprised I was that it smelled like a work truck minus the coffee stench. Got to watch that proud Air Guard pilot corkscrew into the clouds after a short take off run, maybe three thousand feet out then afterburners. Up and gone. Love that memory!
