Probably wondered why he had to keep adjusting the trim.

Alcohol may have been involved

But despite two of the three passengers being top flight engineers on their way to fix a Boeing 767, no one noticed that half the left wing, containing one fuel tank, was missing.

OK, fellas, what is wrong in this picture?

Reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode with William Shatner when he sees the monster on the wing ripping apart the engine...no one else on the plane can see it...they tell him he's crazy. When everyone gets off the plane and walks away...they pan away and the engine is totally shreadded.

"Half the wing"??? Shoot, looks like just a minor dent!

Now HERE is a REAL plane...... The McDonnell Douglas F-15!!!

This Israeli F-15 collided with another plane during exercises. Unfortunately, the pilot of the other plane didn't make it.

The F-15 landed safely with NO right wing!!! Used rear stabilizers to land.

I was working at McDonnell Douglas at the time. Alleged story goes that the F-15 pilot set down on the closest military runway which happened to be an F-16 base. Some F-16 pilot approached the plane from the left screaming at the F-15 pilot for being stupid enough to landing his F-15 on their base. As soon as he walked to the other side, his jaw dropped and he asked how he could transfer to fly F-15s.

Don't know if that story is true, but it is a fact that the F-15 pilot landed this plane with absolutely no right wing!

Looks much more like one quarter of the wing is missing; not even close to one half.

Something isn't right with this ... OK, mistaking a tree-top strike for a bird strike .... um, maybe ... but look at the picture. What jumps out at you? That's right, the wing is ON TOP OF THE PLANE! I would think a tree-top strike would be rather obvious to the occupants of the plane unless a) they were hooded trying some instrument flying or b) they were inverted. Of course there is option c) Guinness before flying, brilliant!
