Neat.

Correct me if I am wrong however, Doesn't the F-15 have the "perfect" record?

Two F-15's were lost to ground fire (one AAA and one SAM) during Desert Storm and a Japanese F-15 was accidentally shot down by one of its squadronmates (oops!), but thus far there has not been an F-15 lost to enemy aircraft.


Here's a picture of an Israeli F-15 that lost its right wing in a collision with an A-4 during a training exercise in 1983. The pilot could not see the extent of the damage due to the stream of leaking fuel, so he flew ten miles to the nearest base and landed.
