israeli pilots are no 1 in the world ....that is a fact !
israel needs this kind of pilots in order to stay alive .

It is my DADs dream to fly in one of these now it is mine!! LOL

Or the modern fly by wire system that guided it.

What "modern fly by wire system?" This incident happened 29 years ago! The F-15 has subsequently been augmented with Fly By Wire technology, but not back then.

RIGHT YOU ARE, BUT THE AMERICAN PILOTS ALSO PRETTE TERRIFIC.

Only an American is good enough to train an Israeli to do it.

What are you drunk? That is the most naive comment I have heard. American's are no better than any other, have a think before you post such rubbish.

Ok...
We in Israel are actually quite comfortable with the current situation
but we will let you know if we ever put Israel for sell...

ye i know i want to see the rest abaut the mig in Japan.

hello everyone.
please ,dont be naive.
I was on duty that day in that airforcebase.
the pilot knew that he lost a wing.
by waching the film you can see yourself that the navigator
can have eye contact with the missing wing.
by knowing this case personally I can tell you that NADIVI-the pilot had to maneuver the plane in a very extraordinary way
in order to land the plane down.
also the flight supervisor could have seen the missing wing as the plane was approaching the runway.
this pilot was a real genius!!
me.

You must like the mig 25 They are cool planes for a airshow but not for combat vers. the elite. How many F-15s have been shot down. My research says none. migs a lot. Question for you can a mig land or even fly with 1 wing ? You should try it by flying through one of those sh*t hole third world sh*t holes that the elite could wipe off the map.Yae maybe some would have bailed our pilot managed to save what was left of the of his F-15 HE could eject but did not.I am sure that you alresdy know that we are the super power.How does that saying go. You mess with the bull you get the hornes. Revised by me. You mess with the F-15 chances are you will not suceed.We do not need any other country to help us.

"

It is like in life or in politic.
It is the right wing that saved the rest"

Watch the movie again buddy. the right wing was the one that was chopped off... the left wing is the one that saved the day

No. The right wing was torn off.
He rather flew on his left wing ...

Impact was from down to up to his right wing. It broke of his wing, and sent him to counter clock spin.
I.P.

No one here was trying to admire one with no reason. He was unknown to the damage, and he had a very cool temper, that's what made him very alive now.
About your politic comment, I think you just came to the conclusion that the israeli ppl and the israeli army have the strongest will to be alive. Now about Yasser arafat. Take USAF they have alot of money and lots of training, though i think the IAF is in favor, it is not about money it is about dedication. which arafat has none.
Israeli army is the most dedicated army in the world and most powerful because of that.
One American jet fighter was admitting that he feels lucky to be on IAF side, after he flew with them.
Dedication

You are illiterate.

You Jackass -- Get your self a long glass of cold water and chill out!
I'll put those pilots up against any pilot in the world - any time- any day!

Looks like you read too much into it! The mechanics alone is enough to say "wow" what a machine...the fact that God is on our side should be a knowledge known already.

Thank you for stating the logical explanation... and in my humble opinion, the correct explanation.

Sorry to disapoint you, but I've been in the IAF and I know for a fact that the US army didn't give us two F-15. The US army was so jenerous when they gave us a F-15 wing. You may think it is crazy but just that wing coasts so much that it was a really nice gift.

ARMY DON'T OWN PLANES TOO STUPID TO DO SO. Israel had to buy two new aircraft but now because of the accident
