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.

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. Regards, Stan Sutterfield Do not archive 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. _____ Plan your next getaway with1200771803/aol?redir=http://travel.aol.com/discount-travel?ncid=emlcntus trav00000001">Check out Today's Hot 5 Travel Deals! ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:23:00 PM PST US From: Speedy11@aol.com Subject: RVSouthEast-List: Re: Fake airmanship you won't believe - for good reason 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.
