Takes a while to read through it, but it's thorough report.
In case some of you could be arsed to go through all the links:

But some very interesting points here. Not least the effect of a small amount of sealant vs the massive effect of two very big tail fins and the tail planes and the natural stability of the F-15. Now, I have departed the Eagle, but I had to try very hard and I couldn't swear to the purity of of any part of what was then an old A-Model airframe.
All that said, there remain some unusual corners of the flight envelope that MacAir were happy to talk about (some time ago), but we're unlikely to be fixed - like the big weight on top of one of the fins.
Anyway, all said, it's a sound final report. People survived. Job done. Good.
P.S. Tash, yes. Your statement should stand.
