Crazy F-15 landing

Just saw this, not sure if it's ever been posted. An Israeli pilot lands a seriously wounded F-15

I'd never dreamed that it would be possiable in any aircraft.

You see what he says at the end of the video?

"If I could have seen what was actually wrong, I never would have tried to land it".

it looks awesum.. but realize the F-15 uses a lifting body.. so there is more wing area than you think... still freaking amazing

True, but all of the planes lift is being supplied by the left wing. The balance of the plane is totallly disrupted. That pilot has mad skills.

If the video is about the incident I think it is (I can't see streaming vid here), then it happened back in the 80's. What's even more impressive is that it happened to an old A model which didn't have as good of a computer as the newer ones have.
