Israeli Air Force F-15D Baz #957 "Markia Schakim" (Sky Blazer) scored three air-to-air victories (in the form of three Syrian fighters, one MiG-21 and two MiG-23s) during the 1982 Lebanon War.

On May 1, 1983, while performing a dissimilar air combat training mission over the Negev, it collided with an A-4 Skyhawk. The A-4 pilot had to eject from his aircraft since it was irremediably damaged and the right wing of the Baz was sheared off roughly 2 ft from the root. Zivi Nedivi (pilot) and Yehoar Gal (navigator), the F-15 crewmembers, 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. The Baz started rolling uncontrollably after the collision. Nedivi lit the afterburner, and eventually regained control of the aircraft. He was able to maintain control because of the lift generated by the large areas of the fuselage, stabilators, and remaining wing. 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.

The aircraft was transported by road to an IAF maintenance unit at Tel Nof, where it was repaired and ultimately went on to share the kill of another Syrian MiG-23 on November 19, 1985.
