Incredible story. The pilot, Major Gary Faust said the aircraft righted itself after he ejected. If it flew on, I'm wondering why he ejected or didn't wait a little bit although he said it was in a flat spin.

The pilot said the F-106 landed itself in a frozen cornfield with 6in. of snow. The F-106 suffered no structural damage at all. It returned to service and is now in the museum. This is unbelievable.

I always liked the delta wing F-106 and the Thunder chiefs or " thuds " The F-106 looks a lot like the French Mirage fighters.
