That gave me chills to see how well made and what instinct by feel that pilot has. Talk about being one with his machine, WOW !

Excellence on design and piloting.

The F15 is a notoriously reliable and durable fighter. This fact and the luck of a pilot resulted in this story =)

The SU-30MKI can take this piece of metal to its grave in a blink of an eye. As for the pilot saying no other plane can sustain this damage and land safely, has he been in the same situation in other planes? I don't think so.

this is unbelievabable the pilot must of been skilled to the max to be able to fly this disabled aircraft 10 miles w/o a wing
