Pre-takeoff checklist
I had not seen this before, reckon it is truly true? I assume it is since it was on TV?

A friend of mine from Israel swears it is true. Every bit of it.

15's are really tough. Like the F-4 before it, everything is redundant. The wings are full of push-pull rods and bellcranks (no cables), so I guess he still had good aileron/spoiler control on the remaining wing. And with a normal 600 degree plus roll rate, it was enough authority to keep it level. Amazing.
