Stan,
While never having flown a fighter or even been in the armed services, I
think the F-15 pilot did a commendable job of saving a major asset for a
small country with a small air force.
If he were in the US, I would agree 100% that he should have bailed out, but
flying for the Israeli air force is a different thing. Similar to the
stories we heard regarding the AVG and that saving even a small part of a
plane was a big deal because that gave them the ability to salvage much
needed parts.
The real question comes down to is this, which asset is more valuable, the
pilot or the plane parts? In the US we view the pilot as the bigger asset
but that equation may not be the same for a small country.
Bill

Your airmanship is more impressive than that of the F-15 pilot. It the
first place, he hit another aircraft in an air-to-air fight. He shouldn't
have. Second, he should have ejected after the collision - despite the
outcome, attempting to fly and land the jet was poor judgement.
However, gliding your RV-6 12 miles to an airport landing is quite
impressive. I hope I never have the opportunity to best your achievement.
You need to tell us the story sometime. Then I'll tell you about my
ejection story.

I did do a 12 miles engine-out glide in my Rv-6A to a successful airport
landing in Winchester, TN once (long story), but not quite the same -
although, my heart rate may well have been equal.

Robert,
Surely you don't believe everything you see and hear on TV!
Maybe you're referring to the F-15C lost wing. If so, that was a real
situation. The youTube Extra 300 landing with a wing missing is a RC plane.
And that caps lock is on the left side of your keyboard - near the shift key.
