Perfect!
The part request for a US jet would read:

Assembly. Wing. F-15A/B/C/D/E. Quantity: Each. Amount: 1


Nothing Follows


Ya gotta love the DoD log system.

Hey do you suppose the pilot had to fill out a statement of charges on the wing he lost?

I gotta admit I stole the MEL comment.. That was attributed to a incident involving a B-707 Departing JFK , when the out board engine developed a complete compressor failure, departed from the Aircraft taking with it the right wing from the nacelle outboard.
Returning successfully the PIC made that request to Boeing in the resulting write up
IE: Please add right wing to MEL
