As you know I used to be an F-15 Crew Chief (Tire Kicker, glorified Gas Station Attendant).
I always enjoy Aircraft Video’s.
This is a video of the Volkswagon Bug of the Air Force (the F-16) Made so everyone can afford it.

It is pretty amazing the single engine Fighter Jet made it home. The video is long but the main part happens at 2 Min and 25 Sec into the video, Make sure you watch till the end so you can see the damage after it landed.

That was badass! The firm I work for actually sells military aircraft parts so everyone in the office enjoyed the video, thanks!

Doug - Did everyone enjoy it because it was a marvel that the pilot landed the thing or because they can see the Orders coming in for replacement Parts?
“Whoa… Looks like over time for us…”
