Why would you say that? Why would they make up such a story? What about the pictures? The airframe apparently went on to score two kills. Here is a thread about the incident: http://message.snopes.com/showthread.php?t=10365

The F-15 has a very high thrust to weight ratio, that gives a pilot a lot of options.

Or were you talking about the aerobatic plane landing with one wing?
