Video - Landing a one winged F-15

A real story

During a training exercise at 14,000 feet an F-15 collided with another aircraft and began to dive, but when the pilot instinctively opened the afterburner, he was able to bring the nose back up. A spray of leaking fuel obscured the right side, and the pilot didn't realize that he was flying on just one wing. Somehow the pilot managed to land at approximately twice the normal landing speed, not to loose lift.

It should be aerodynamically impossible for an aircraft to fly with one wing missing. The team who investigated the incident reported that having the F-15 a very wide body it probably behaved like a rocket, with no need of wings, due to the high speed at which it was landed.
