An F-15 with a wing missing can't be controlled by using the other aileron to keep the plane level. Neither does an F-15 with one wing have enough lift to keep it in the air. No matter what the airspeed, the side with the good wing will always produce more lift than the other side, and it will roll w/o you being able to stop it.

Urban legend? So is this history channel documentary all fake - and that Israeli pilot just sitting there lying?
I believe it at least... It's done before all those ad studios got too powerful software 
EDIT: I've seen that stunt plane clip also - and that is all fake
