F15--Lands with one wing!

Heres something for you physics freaks

how does a f15 land with one wing??? Like the video says I'm guessing some kind of lifting body effect that kept him in the air??

I've seen the pictures before, but the video is crazy. Afterburner in a dive, that's thinking outside the box!

Bill Hemple flying a F-15?

Bill is the magic man. He was flying an Extra and one wing came off in flight... no prob for Bill. He just put it in knife edge, went around the pattern and brought it in full KE.

I think that was a Wild Hare Edge he lost the wing on........

THE NICE THING OF THE F-15 IS THAT ITS FUSELLAGE ACTS AS A LIFTING BODY . ANOTHER AIRPLANE THAT IS LIKE THAT ARE THE SHORTS THAT THE MILITARY USE FOR CARGO, 35% TO 45% OF THE FUSELAGE OF THE SHORTS THAT THE MILITARY USE FOR CARGO ACTS AS A LIFTING BODY SINCE THE FUSELAGE IS SO WIDE .....

holy friggin crap!!!

OMG That is freakin insane!! I would never have thought it would be done with a full scale!
Even if the plane has a 'lifting body' it still takes MAD SKILLS to land on one wing!!!!
