[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3068496, member: 13624"] Happened in 1983. [URL]https://theaviationist.com/2014/09/15/f-15-lands-with-one-wing/[/URL] The aircraft was returned to service. ETA: something not in that article, but that I've seen elsewhere, is that the flight computer split the stabilators, raising the left one and lowering the right one, essentially turning them into elevons (combination elevator and aileron, like a flying wing would have).
