After reading the story I just have to recall stories from the guys who flew and serviced F4s, they joked they could fly without either wing simply because it was just a rocket sled.
We had one guy knicknamed Major Cablecutter as he "clipped" the guidelines of a radio tower one time. He also had come back more than once with branches stuck to his F4. Being that they were only "Recon" they tended to be aggressive during war games and this game guy over stressed his airframe turning into some F18s trying to tag him.
So many military planes have such high thrust to weight ratios I do not doubt that wings merely become the means to stable flight

- dsjoerg 13y agoWriting a whole iOS game in Scheme is about as crazy as flying an F4 with only one wing.
- curiousphil 13y agoThis comment made me think this game must have some incredible unseen angle not shown in the screenshots on the App Store. Brilliant!
