In case you're wondering how planes fly without vertical fins....
 
We've all seen it. Done it. Flown it.

A stunningly effective, highly satisfying gunnery run on an aircraft shears off its vertical stab.

Yet it still flies, albeit slightly sideways.

And refuses to go down.

Flight model failure?

I used to think so....

Adjust the link to make it work, if I have to tell you how, then you dont deserve to take your next breath.

Was this quite so hard? Why on earth would you also make it harder by editing the link???

When i click on the play button, i get:

"Embedding disabled by request."

Thats why I added my embedding editing entry, right below the main post, in the editing section.

Frankly, its a youtube link.

I'd love to spoon feed you the info, but, srsly, stop whinging and just make it work hmmm?

Actually an IAF F15 landed without the starboard wing.
