Die Belastbarkeiten von Flugzeugen und Piloten (zunächst F-4

[Helios]

Als Auslagerung aus dem USA vs. Iran Thread:

Also die Geschichte mit der genannten F-4 ist schon spannend, liest sich wie ein typischer später Clancy:

(...)Shortly after the last attacking aircraft returned, the escort fighter's RWR/RHAW indicated a missile lock. Moments later, a reportedly Standard Missile SM- 2ER radar guided surface-to-air missile, said to be launched from USS Wainwright,(...)
To break the radar lock, the Phantom jinked hard with maximum power, pulling a +12g turn. The missile exploded nearby, spraying the airframe with shrapnel, severing hydraulic lines and damaging the left engine.
The aircraft headed towards the nearest auxiliary airstrip, but on the way it again came under attack from behind. The Phantom tried hard to break the radar lock by flying low and taking evasive action. Moment later, near the airstrip, another missile passed the right side of the F-4, hitting the water and exploding. The aircraft managed to evade this and landed on the runway. Since the airstrip lacked a barrier facility, the pilot decided to get airborne again - despite the threat from the unseen missile shooter - and headed towards the main base.
Despite partial hydraulic failure, engine problems and severe damage to the wing and fuselage, the Phantom remained controllable and finally landed in Bandar Abbas.(...)

The Wainwright's surface warriors had no time to celebrate. With an Iranian F-4 fighter quickly closing, the Wainwright's skipper ordered Standard missiles to the rail and away. Two birds streaked towards the jet, apparently causing damage as the plane rapidly fell before returning to Bandar Abbas.

Roberts hits a mine. 4/88; Operation Praying Mantis, Wainwright, Simpson & Bagley destroy SIRRI gas-oil separation platform with naval gunfire. Same ships sank Iranian gunboat JOSHAN with missile and gunfire attacks after unsuccessful missile attack on Wainwright.

Dies als kleine Zitatsammlung (erweiterung wünschenswert). Außerdem noch die Frage der Möglichkeiten des Tiefflugs und die Frage nach den allgemein ertragbaren Belastungen von Flugzeug und Pilot. (Im Notfall bitte aus dem anderen Thread zitieren)
