I was in a McDonnell -Douglas tech-rep's office at Langley AFB
when the message first came in. They figured it was an error in
translation that should have said "three feet of wing missing", not "
three feet remaining". The flight controls in the F-15 don't
necessarily move the way you expect when you move the stick. You move
the stick and rudders to tell the airplane what you want it to do and
the flight control computer sort of figures out where to move things.
Anything the F-15 has two of, you can fly with one of. I always
figured it was tougher than a B-17, or anything else.
