This is a real " Hello God? HELP! "
Just click on it.
You won't believe what you see.

plane wing falls off during Air Show * 1:13)

[Yosemitest]

Yes, I have.
And I've seen some Beechcraft 1900 pilots take some pretty bad ribbing for bouncing some of their landings.
I had the misfortune of being on a DC-9 flight that bounced a landing at Jackson MS airport one time, and the stewardesses were laughing at the co-pilot for such a bad landing.
The captain came up over the PA and apologized to the passengers for his "student's first landing in a DC-9.
Then there was the Stretch DC-8 at Osan, that came in too fast and too high, and rolled his right main gear up under the strut, and skidded into the departure end BAK-12.
That Aluminum-Oxide strut made on hell of a fire until it stopped skidding.
It took 8 hours to get our runway opened again.

Seriously? This video has been proven to be a hoax and nothing more than a publicity video for Thrill Energy Drink or some such. It's at least 2 years old.

Dude, you've been had.

First, it is DOABLE. They HOVER like this in various scales of RC, and real acrobatic planes.

Here are some real ones.

Second, the VIDEO you refer to is a compilation made from (1) A lightweight RC and (2) Captured video from a VIDEO GAME. Neither the pilot nor the ground crew guy walking up are real. They are just programmed characters. My guess is that the video capture came from one of the new GTA releases.

It’s a hoax. Two YouTube videos explain it. The first in English but limited in explaining how it was done. The second is longer and goes into detail but it’s in French with subtitles.

the movement of the plane appeared herky jerky enough to be a model plane

that is the first impression I had as a matter of fact.

tiny objects would move as the “plane” did even before losing the wing..a full sized plane would not. its a matter of scale

[skinkinthegrass]

oppss! and yes, i already have.

I wish you could watch Champion Aerobatic Pilot Patty Wagstaff preform her act that she flew at March AFB.
She could do things with an RV that most pilots could only dream of.

A Moving Art original short.
Another interesting person I've met:
Patty Wagstaff is a national treasure.
She is the first woman to have won the National Aerobatic Championship,
and the only woman to have won it THREE times.
Aerobatic flying is an art and a skill that would cause most of us to blow lunch in the first minute or so.
She is a role model for all of us.
Plus, you gotta love the hair!

My husband does this in a Pitts Model 12.

I refuse to go up in it.

This thing has been floating around for a while. It’s a model and designed to fly without the wing. And then a bit of video photoshop and you have a pilot climbing out.

When I first saw it I thought it looked like a model until the guy climbed out. Then I saw some video where the author came clean on how he did it and I realized why it looked like a model. ;-)

I've controlled air traffic for over 30 years..THAT IS REAL!

I've been at FreeRepublic for over 30 years.
Dammit mister, I believe you.

I was at Plattsburgh AFB in 1987 and we had an Air Show going own with the ''current event" being a rapid bomb loading display of an FB-111 on the ramp.
I was working Local, when a civilian Pitts Special called up and wanted to do a short display over the runway.
I approved it, and he come in over the runway at about 100 ft and climbed into a vertical 360 and then spiraled out in a climb and did a short right turn and came back in to do a "Hammerhead" climb, stall, slide backwards and recover.
Then he climbed back out and departed over Lake Champlain.
Needless to say the "bomb loading display" wasn't watch very closely.
SAC Command Post called up and wanted to cause trouble.
I called and demanded the Base Ops Officer write a Letter of Appreciation and Thanks" to the civilian Pilot in the Pitts Special, and he did.
I laughed about getting the best of the SAC Command Post for years after that.

[Yosemitest]

My apologies, but it looked real to me.

[laotzu]

No apologies are needed. It looked real to me as well.

[Yosemitest]

Thanks.

Fake, fake, fake, fake

Watch Patty Wagstaff perform in her Extra 300S during the third day of the 2013 Virginia Beach Patriotic Festival Air Show..

[Yosemitest]

Watch and listen to a true leader for women in aviation.

Fake. Here’s how it was purportedly done (2008): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5uVaG9k6kw

[Aria]

I bet that was quite the show! It’s amazing what they can do!

My husband qualified for Reno Air Races but he didn’t participate, thank GOD!

Real plane loses wing during a negative-G maneuver, but is equipped with a full-plane parachute:
