Only a P-47 could survive such a collision with the ground yet still fly home:

When scrolling down I wondered if they included a pic of this Fokker. Living near their base I saw them fly over almost every day. I've seen this plane doing these runs a lot lower than on this pic, usually with one engine turned off. When the runway ran out the pilot would start the other engine and fly the plane straight up for as far as it would and then just let it fall down, turn and go over the runway again. It looks more impressive with this F-27 than with a Mustang or Spitfire.
