Tail Between My Legs
#7

Sorry to have to tell you guys, but the pic wasn't staged. Thats how the aeroplane was when I taxied up to the hangar. I lost the tail feathers due to gunnery from the bombers on my first (and only) pass, the wing panel was lost hitting the runway trying to avoid a pesky USAAF P51 that followed me down. Actually what I should have done was recorded the flight and took some screenshots afterward, but I didn't think of it - I'll certainly do that next time if this sort of thing happens again.

Incidentially - there's a real life case of an israeli F15 that had one wing shot off and flew back to base for a successful landing. The makers sent a team of investigators out there because they didn't believe it either.
