Thinking about it, in this Mid Air Collision it is a Miracle that the F-16 Pilot survived unless he punched out right before the Collision or it was a glancing blow that gave him enough time. The F15 was flyable even after the loss of a wing in a mid-air collision.

Yep, an Israeli Pilot. I think I read he had no idea of the extent of the Damage until he Landed.
Instead of investing Billions of Dollars in the failed F-35, our Idiotic Government should buy Hundreds of the F-15 Silent Eagles. Time to get us back in the game.
They should also increase the numbers of F-22’s and make sure the A-10 is kept in Service or Cloned. Rant off. LOL

I also read somewhere, maybe here, that the damaged F-15 was repaired and put back in service.
Amazing Aircraft, even decades since it was introduced.
