Two F/A-18 Hornets from Top Gun were dogfighting, and made a head-on pass just a bit too close. One got home with part of the left wing and left vertical fin and rudder missing, while the other jet is missing everything forward of the cockpit pressure bulkhead - and is a flying convertible because the canopy is shattered too. These guys are pretty lucky.
