Not totally related, but an ex-F-104 driver once told me about the time when one airframe had got a bit bent by a student applying a bootfull of rudder at too high a speed. The high tech solution was to take it up to the same speed again and boot the rudder in the opposite direction. Hey presto, one straight F-104...

I'm not sure how they wrote that up in the tech log.
