there’s a long history of battle worn planes that miraculously stay flying long after you’d think they shouldn’t

well take that concept, and make it a fun R/C game :D

All hail the B-17. This one actually flew back after taking a flak round head on. There are even instances of these tanks operating with practically half of the plane missing.

Dammit, can’t post pics, but in ‘83 an Israeli F-15D Baz Fox-Four’d an A-4, and the pilot managed to land with one wing .

I’d bring up Kim Campbell’s A-10, but that’s cheating...

Granted, not holes so much, but...

Was going to post that F-15, but you beat me to it. That sucker flew back to base with only one wing.

I always thought the F-15 with one wing was a hoax. Just wow. The footage of it going down the runway is just wrong.

I’m pretty sure the History Channel footage is just edited footage of a normal F-22 landing. That said, it was definitely no hoax, the aircraft was seriously broken.
