An F-16 also can’t get one engine and half a wing blown off and return to base.

An Israeli F-15 made it back to base with an entire wing missing. I saw a picture of it and boy, it was hard to believe he flew that thing back.

The thing that allowed him to do it was part of the fuselage is also wing like so it was getting a lot of lift even after the wing was gone.
