same thing posted in two completely different type of boards on one day. Now thats a record for me.

This poped up on one of the Unimog boards today too.

So to stay with flying, two of the same post in one day..... and fake movies... here is a professionaly done one with a tiny bit of relevance to the one posted here.

Why do you imply that it's a fake? I checked it on Snopes and got no hits.

Here's another:

Turns out that one is likely a fake according to an aviation fan:

"LOL, that one is really going around the aviation community.

The guys have decided that this is a really good advertisement for the sponsor on the airplane but say it is a cut and paste using an RC airplane.

Looks pretty realistic though."

However, here's another:

RC. That was my impression when I saw the start. The moves and turns are too abrupt for a full sized plane. If you use the stop/play button you lose the plane for a split second when they substitute the real thing right at the end. If real he should be in kaka right to the eyeballs. Pretty good though.

So far, two F-15s have landed with one wing for real! One was Israeli AF, shown on link above and other was USAF.

Keep in mind that although the first video is an RC, it IS a conventional aircraft design and is merely overpowered -- It DID land with only one wing -- Helicopters do it all the time with NO wings, just a power plant and big propeller holding them up....
