У дугласов такая зверская тяга, что это по сути не самолёт, а ракета. Так что при сохранении возможности управлять этой самой тягой, история кажется более-менее правдоподобной (на мой дилетантский взгляд).
Это было в 1983, до интернета :-) Поэтому ничего не найти, кроме сюжета по History Channel. Интервью с пилотом и фотки в конце убедительные. Не вижу причин сомневаться, если относиться непредвзято ;-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Negev_mid-air_collision

This is what "Flight international, 8 June 1985" wrote about the incident:
"The most outstanding Eagle save was by a pilot from a foreign air force. During air combat training his two seater F-15 was involved in a mid air collision with an A-4 Skyhawk. The A-4 crashed, and the Eagle lost it's right wing from about 2ft. outboard. After some confusion between the instructor who said eject, and the student who outranked his instructor and said no, the F-15 was landed at it's desert base. Touching down at 290 kt, the hook was dropped for an approach and engagement. This slowed the F-15 to 100 kt, when the hook weak link sheared, and the aircraft was then braked conventionally. It is said that the student was later demoted for disobeying his instructor, then promoted for saving the aircraft.
McDonnel Douglas attributes the saving of this aircraft to the amount of lift generated by the engine intake/body and "a hell of a good pilot".
