Ooops...



And it kept flying quite well! I 'canyon-carving' through trees at mach 1.1, when I clipped the left wing on a tree. The plane  immediately made a sharp left bank, but I corrected and climbed out. While heading to the nearest large airport, I climbed to 14,000 to to a landing-configuration check to see if it would fly that slow it gear and flaps down. Yep, flew great, except I was missing the left main gear. Hey, wonder if this ejection seat still works??

I'd go with the ejection seat, personally

Ace flying if you got it down, though

Yeah, that can happen, that

well at least you survived to tell about it!

Personally I wouldn't want to be flying an airplane that gets that torn up over a bird! I'm hoping that it was a monstrous sized one at least! ;-)

totally unrealistic

By "Bird" he probably meant a Boeing 747-300 ... right?  ;D  ;D  ;D

totally unrealistic
 

Yes it is. This happend to an Isreali F-15. The whole left wing came off after a collision with a....Palestinian F-4 I think, but bottom line is it landed and the pilot walked away, investigators thought it was a Taxiing accident...so these things happend

In May of 1983, an Israeli F-15 was successfully landed after losing most of its starboard wing in an inflight collision. The plane was repaired and put back into service.

The collision was with an A-4

Hmm...I would say its unrealistic in a Su-34...

...the F-15 have a very wide body, so when its going fast enough, its basically a rocket...

...Su-34 is a different story

"Maverick, I think we hit a bird back there"

Shouldn't it be:

"Kosygin,I think we hit a plane back there"

"Maverick, I think we hit a bird back there"

Shouldn't it be:

"Kosygin,I think we hit a plane back there"

Was just gonne say it wasnt a russian name..

I think the other way round. The Su-27/34 family was designed with the main fuselage creating additional lift in mind. So it'd have good chances to survive that kind of collision.

Damn!...I'm not an expert on Russian aircrafts ....looks so small from here

Jeff...

..Ps..doesn't look like that thing fly very well in real life tho...

You'd be surpirised...
8g max.. not bad for a bomber  :D
