>No warning light was on and the navigation computer worked as usual; (I just needed a warning light in my panel to indicate that I missed a wing...)."

Hilarious.



Missed a wing is a rare event, but I find it strange that there are no warnings for all the control surfaces that are not there anymore

But then again it's a fighter jet, so maybe the "distraction level" is lower and too many warnings means eject.


Thea would need a percentage based hull integrity display.


I'm sure he was getting hydraulic pressure warnings, but that doesn't really mean "the entire wing is gone" in most cases.


Notably the Space Shuttle lacked a wing integrity indicator as well.
