Now here's a pilot!
If I were in an airplane and things went wrong I think I'd like to have this
guy as the pilot.
This has nothing to do with politics - thank God!

FST FOX - try again - it plays until he starts to climb out after landing.

Something fishy with that video. The air speed of probably 100 MPH is reduced to about 15 MPH in a couple of plane lengths once he touches down.

There was a video of a military plane (F15 I think) that lost a wing and he was able to return home. It was real and was really well documented. I will have to search for it.

I think the first video is real.... a real RC plane, spliced into a clip of the plane it duplicates. Fun clip.

ok.. additional reasons why I don't buy it
1) something this miraculous would have been all over the msm and aviation publications
2) the guy doesn't talk like a pilot
3) go to the clip with sound
http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=96DQk72ruRk
read the comments.
"
No, it is not real...it is a video created by the KillaThrill sports apparel company. They're hoping the video goes viral.
You will notice that AirRacer89 just joined YouTube yesterday, uploaded the same video, and has nearly the same favorites."

4) wings just don't break off like that.
as the f15 demonstrated, someone must know to find the clip (sorry I don't have time) of the biplane whose top spar broke in two in a chicago (?) air show.

5) 4 led me to this... pause the clip @ 51 seconds... Where's the spar? There's no spar 'hole' where the spar would transverse the exposed rib.

I grabbed the ball and pulled it back 10+ times, and I still can't find the 'fake'?

It's possible to do, one would really have to have their whit's about them, it looks like he managed to get the craft inverted and used the rudder to stabilize it and the throttle to ease his decent, that aircraft can stay in place under its own power so it is possible.

Huh?
Possible to do?
Have you ever flown an airplane?
Okay, now I understand where your political logic comes from....
FAKE!
The F-15 thing is real for sure, but that's a whole different world.
This is what kills me about the internet, and the "sleuths" who dig this stuff up....
The real world is amazing, and to document it as we do now with modern photography and distribute it to the entire world for free is more amazing still.
Yet, many people still function fully only in a dream world.
I don't get it.

I've gotta agree with those who believe it is fake. In addition to all the other reasons cited, if one wing came off, it would have taken the aileron controls with it, he wouldn't have had aileron on the other wing. Without aileron, there is no way to produce that last minute, and abrupt left roll. The ailerons on opposite wings are rigged together.....one goes down the other goes up. That is how you get a fixed-wing aircraft to roll.
Aviation 101:
1) elevator controls pitch
2) rudder controls yaw
3) aileron controls roll

Without a frame by frame examination it's hard to tell I understand the doubt, but even with one aileron you can achieve roll, and using the throttle you could control decent.
