Like to see an Airbus(t) do this...
LOL!!!!!
WOW!!!!
That is one heck of a pic!
I seem to recall seeing a pic of an F-15 (or was it F-14) with a wing almost completely missing landing on a carrer.
Actually a Airbus just lost it's tail "AGAIN" in Cuba and managed to land. Unlike the BUFF it was plain material fatigue in the Airbus case. Fortunately this one was able to land, unlike the one that crashed from a similar structural failure shortly after 9-11.

The Airbus crash statistics let a lot to be desired, and those airframes tend to have a lower mean age, are used less in third world countries (first hand customers), and fly out of nice paved, long, ILS etc supported airports.
