I was told of a USMC Phantom that got airborne one dark night with folded wings. The tower rapidly filled up with everyone from the station commander to the ATC cat, all offering advice. The unfortunate pilot made a very creditable job of struggling round the circuit on rudder alone (no ailerons) before landing with his wheels up.
PS How does a Marine pilot know he's landed with his wheels up?
He needs afterburner to taxi.
