Seems a shame an F15 can fly with one wing but give it a squiffy nose and it drops out of the sky.
The funny thing about the F-15 is that when the pilot ejects, it seldom returns to base and lands on its own.

In the case of the F-15 that lost a wing, the pilot elected to stay aboard and nurse the plane back.
