Something to cheer us up on election eve. I don't know who was flying that plane, but maybe it was "Ace" McCain.
You do realize this is fake, right?
They say it was special effects but I think it was real!
No, is it? I just came across it a minute ago.
This is all over every Gen-Av website and homebuilt aircraft enthusiast mailing list. I don't believe it for a second. Every (gen av) aircraft I know of that has liberated a wing has resulted in a fatality. Enough said, lets move on....
Watch the very end where the plane is rolling near the runway left to right. Compare the size of the plane against the hanger in the distance before and after it turns around. It’s a viral ad.
Its a fake, but a darn good one!

Thanks. I googled it, but didn’t find that. Just this, which claims to be an Israeli pilot who survived in an F-15 with one wing gone:

Maybe that’s a fake, too? No idea.
An Navy “ACE” shoots down 5 enemy planes. McCain lost 5 U.S. planes.
Good editing job but it is totally FAKE. Please review the thread from yesterday.
Oh yeah, I’m a computer animator and about 26 hrs into my flight training. It’s most certainly a fake :)
Check the size of the grass compared to the plane.
According to Dan Rather: “This is fake but accurate...”
