The aircraft, 106 Squadron's 957 Markia Schakim ( Hebrew: מרקיע שחקים, Sky Blazer), was transported by road to an IAF maintenance unit at Tel Nof, where it was repaired. He later told The History Channel, "it's highly likely that if I had seen it clearly I would have ejected, because it was obvious you couldn't really fly an airplane like that." He added, "Only when later went to analyze it, they said, OK, the F-15 has a very wide body you fly fast enough and you're like a rocket. Nedivi managed to bring his F-15 to a complete stop approximately 20 ft (6 m) from the end of the runway. Diverting to Ramon Airbase, the F-15 landed at twice the normal speed to maintain the necessary lift, and its tailhook was torn off completely during the landing. He was able to maintain control because of the lift generated by the large areas of the fuselage, stabilators, and remaining wing. Nedivi, who outranked the instructor, decided not to eject and attempted recovery by engaging the afterburner, and eventually regained control of the aircraft. The F-15 started rolling uncontrollably after the collision and the instructor ordered an ejection. The crew of the two-seat training version F-15, pilot Zivi Nedivi and navigator Yehoar Gal, did not initially realize the extent of the damage, as fuel leaking profusely and vaporizing at the wing attachment was obscuring their view of the area where the wing once was. How an Israeli F-15 Eagle managed to land with one wing - The Aviationist. The right wing of the Eagle was sheared off roughly 2 ft (60 cm) from the root.

On, during an Israeli Air Force dissimilar air combat training session over the Negev, an F-15D Eagle (or Baz) collided with an A-4 Skyhawk.
The lifting body properties of the F-15, together with its overabundant engine thrust, allowed the pilot to achieve this unique feat. Notably, the F-15, (with a crew of two), managed to land safely at a nearby airbase, despite having its right wing almost completely sheared off in the collision. In May 1983, two Israeli Air Force aircraft, an F-15 Eagle and an A-4 Skyhawk, collided in mid-air during a training exercise over the Negev region, in Israel.
