Pardo's push, wingless F-15 and other tidbits

Just stumbled across this thread in the Pelikan parts forums. Very interesting read for the aviation minded people.

Two highlights: first the "Pardo's push". Never heard it before. Simply amazing, seems like stuff out of a hollywood movie.

And this is the israeli F15 who landed with a missing wing (there was a thread about it here sometime ago):

seen the rest before but not pardos push, amazing stuff, war certainly brings out the best in people as well as the worst.

Incredible isn't it? Imagine what it would be like pushing a car in the highway at 100mph. Now triple the speed, make it 3D and put some bullet holes in it...
