A word of caution on tailslides, I'm sure recovery is OK with an F15. But in particular Kangaroo type airframes with the engine mounted high above the aircraft have a horrible ability to enter a non recoverable inverted spin when trying to tail slide them.
Believe me it's not a nice feeling. You have no surface authority, due to lack of air flow over the control surfaces.
If you have to do it, make sure you have alot of height and are feeling lucky !!!!!!!!!!!
