The A-10 probably would, but that is about it.

This one flew for the IAF, got clipped by a A-4 Skyhawk, IIRC the Skyhawk pilot bailed out while Eagle driver brought his plane home...

One very skilled pilot, or did the computers keep her from spinning like a wobbly drill bit?

I believe it when I see it. The bottom left picture is definitely a fake.

I originally heard this story from an IAF officer a few years ago. Didn't really believe it back then, but I suppose it could have happened.

The pictures/video might have been edited (Think those are from a documentary), since the chances of them actually capturing all that when it happened are pretty slim.

That pic probably is a mock up from a documentary (hence the History channel H in the corner) but the bottom right photo isn't fake.

I know that this story has been over the net for years and documentaries have been made about it, but I still doubt it somehow. It doesn't seem possible and the story was first told in the time of the cold war (IIRC) so It could be just a taxiing accident with some "Here Russki/Syrian etc, look what our fighters can do" story attached to it.
I simply have trouble to believe that that thing could land safely with that sort of damage.

he brought her down wayyyyy too fast, and probably funked up the brakes when trying to stop before running off the tarmac into the desert ^^

Any landing you walk away from is a "safe" landing.
