F-15 can fly with 1 wing! :D

Apparently F-4 Drivers weren't the only ones to fly that way.

There were even some Skyraiders that took-off (cat-shot, of course!) with their wings folded.

They did actually fly!

From a runway I can get how a pilot could overlook part of a checklist but how the hell does a cat crew manage to launch a bird and not notice its wings are up.

I thought that it wasn't that they were folded, but that they were not LOCKED. As soon as they attempted to generate some lift....whap...new vertical stabs!

And the crew were usually issued a pair of bent wings to wear.

Can you imagine that happening on the Su-33, with foldings wings and stabs??

[+Typhoid]

Ha ha!!

 

An A-7 did that at Miramar one night when I was the CDO for the E-2 RAG. Closed the runway and diverted our CARQUAL flight!

 

:(

[RogerSmith]

imagine what would happen if it were an A-6, almost the whole wing folds

[+JediMaster]

Or the E-2, where it folds back flat against the plane!

I think that is sorta obvious!!!
