I saw an episode of JAG in which the hero saved a crippled F-14 by having them lower their tailhook and then using his armored glass canopy to push them out over the water, thus letting them eject where they could be picked up by friendly forces. I was choking, laughing out loud and shouting "B***S***!" all the way to the end of the show, when they had a disclaimer saying the episode was dedicated to a Phantom pilot who saved his wingman by doing just that over VietNam.
You're right, sometimes real life is weirder than the movies.
