In Jan 1960, a Danish Hawker Hunter pilot ejected after suffering an engine failure on the approach...

...the aircraft then made an almost perfect belly landing at Skrydstrup AB some 3 miles away!

Apparently it suffered such little damage that it was repaired and put back into service - although I find that hard to believe.
