Ace Combat Zero fan art.
Solo-wing Pixy in Ace Combat Zero has a back-story that was not explicitly discussed.
During a mission, the F-15 he pilots has its right wing blown off. Despite of the damage, Pixy still managed to complete the sortie with one wing, and managed to bring the damaged plane home to safety.

This backstory was somehow inspired by Israeli Air Force's F-15 training exercise accident, where an F-15 had a mid-air collision which took out its right wing. The IAF pilot managed to land the one winged plane back to safety. So yea =)

Anyway, too much babbling.
Would like to thank Relic News IRC art channel and conceptart.org's irc channel's people for providing me the much needed critique during the course of the project.

Thanks for viewing everybody!

beautiful colors and textures. The sky and perspective are amazing. I love the selection of clouds and the detail of the planes. Looks great and awesome. Love the energy in the piece as well.

I remember watching that Israeli one-wing landing in a documentary once. That was awesome, and so is this artwork! :D

I remember that news story with the F-15 with one wing. Pretty incredible aircraft. I'm hoping that the government considers the F-15 Silent Eagle as a potential alternative to the F-35.

Yeah Well he's had his share of goin home without wings lol I couldn't resist. Beides the incident with the Israeli F-15 I read about an American F-15 in Gulf War I who lost part of his left wing during a dogfight with an Iraqi MiG, but still managed to zap the bandit and get home
