Super Hornet flies with most of wing gone!

Wasn't there someone in Lemoore a few years back that took off w/o locking the wings on his Hornet?
 
Yeah, that's all fine and dandy until your hyd fluid is gone.

But could it still land on a carrier? Hmmm I would think not.

But far be it from me to really have the knowledge to determine that.
 
That Strike Eagle guy had Jesus on his side..what more could you need? It's just a case of Him helping His people. ;)
 
The tech for the hornet might be hard to field though - it's totally hands off while the computer takes complete control from the pilot. I'm pretty sure that if I lost a wing and wasn't controlling the jet that I'd eject first, ask questions later

I'm hoping that emoticon is indicative of some SERIOUS sarcasm. Because somehow, I think the Israeli pilot was Jewish, so Jesus probably didn't give a shit.

This is yet another example of the STREAM of posts discussing strategy and technical piloting skills from people who AREN'T PILOTS! I've flown a T-34 in the military. That's why I don't post responses discussing the intricate flying involved in a broken jet.

I couldn't care less, but just sayin... ;)
