On the show I’m talking about the jet did land on a carrier with most of one wing missing. I think the name of the show is “Is it real” on the Discovery channel.
They showed the video of it to prove that a jet can do something that a full sized prop plane can’t do. I’ll keep digging though, it irritates me when I can’t find that stuff.
I’d love to see that one! Appreciate your effort to find it.
