Wow! I know the F-15 gains some of it's lift from the underside of the body, and he has two very large tails on that thing to compensate with, as well as being able to compensate with thrust, but wow! What else can you say?

PS. This reminds me of when the F-4 flew straight through a Beechcraft baron, decapitated all the people in the Baron (Still had hair and guts embedded in the wing), and he still flew the F-4 home. It looked like he just bumped the wing on a building. US builds some strong planes!
