When I went to Israel, we visited their Air Force Base. This video (4.37 min goes fast) is a testament to Israeli pilots and their training.

I couldn't get it to play, but I know they are as creative and fierce warriors of the sky as their Army is on the ground. I'll try to make it play later.

He goes into uncontrollable spin, manages to pull out of it, hits the runway at twice the speed (over 200 knots). He stops just 20 ft short of some sort of berm, pushes back the canopy, looks back to his co-pilot to shake hands and realizes one wing has been tore off of the plane.

Anyone try tell me that God doesn't bless them - has absolutely no understanding of God's ability.

Whoa Nellie!! I will have to go back and MAKE it play. You are quite right about God blessing them. With all the adversity they have suffered, continue to suffer, they couldn't have made it without God's Grace.

The expression "On a wing and a prayer" originated when a "Gooney Bird" (DC-3) flew and landed with six feet of the left wing missing. But this? OMG! (As the kids say).

That is what you call flying on a wing and a prayer.
