F-5 and T-38 are old '50-'60s airframe designs that are still in use and can take a serious beating and hold together long enough for the pilots to get out if not limp them home. The F-5 is that mean looking "adversary" plane they use to emulate Migs at Top Gun.

I don't think the newer airframes are as robust in a collision but I guess it all depends on where and how you get hit.

It is sad to hear about when solders die in battle, it is even worse when it is not.
