Wasn't there an incident involving an F-102 where the pilot bailed
out in an emergency and the corrected itself and eventually landed in
a field intact and with the engines still running? The farmer had to
call and ask them to come and get their plane.


Yup. This was actually a common occurrence with F-102 operations
back in the late 50's. Like you said, the ol' Deuce would morph into a
twin engined airplane and then magically land itself with both engines
still running. Amazing, huh?
