Saw an F-4E after it had gone through some trees at speed. Radome was peeled open like banana skin, windshield and canopy shattered, everything below wing level surgically removed, leading edges and underside nicely polished and branches wedged in the intakes and fin. The pilot needed an escort for the landing as he couldn't see out of the front, but the engines, gear, flaps and brakes worked just fine.
