It's fake. You can easily see the CG.

Yea the back half if not all of it is clearly CG.

I had the hunch but couldn't really tell if it was just a really crappy video..

Oh well..

Judging from the amount of time it took the guy to run from the camera to the plane, I would guess the plane crashed about 20-30 yards away.
Me, I would be running like heck w/ the camera on the ground behind me.
FAKE, but a good video to watch!

At first it looked like RC. But the roll rate on the landing was pathetically wrong. The scale on the last shot was terrible.

My first thought was that it was from a video game.

I was leaning toward the RC/CG thing too. If this had been real it'd been all over national news.

Once a plane loses a main wing, it's over, there is NO control left. Even the Blue Angels couldn't land a plane missing a wing. And besides, a wing isn't going to just FALL OFF a stunt plane as 99.999999% of all pilots do a visual inspection at the very least before hopping in and firing her up. The pilot would have noticed loose rivets and such prior to take off. More than likely that is. Stranger things have happened... look who won the election...

Ha, definitely fake, but that would'v been one hell of a landing if it was real.

I've seen an RC plane "land" when it lost a main wing, due to a midair. It was a plane that could already fly knife edge. He cut power and took it down in the high grass. It wasn't nearly as elegant as the video, but nothing more was broken on the plane.

yeah, fake. I dont know about the CG thing, in fact Im not 100% sure I know what that means (computer generated? computer graphics?) but I flew RC planes for about 10 years and still dable...... that looks like any other Extra 300 style RC plane Ive ever scene, but the vid is definitely fake.
