Now that is damn good flying!!!!!!
Reminds me of the old saying, "Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing".
So how much of that was skill and how much luck? He gathered it in nicly and got control of it enough to at least stablize it. He got it close to the ground on skill... But im not too sure about that landing? 50% skill and 50% luck? Either way it was an "E" Ticket Ride.
Definitely a wing and a prayer!
Nice photo shop work! LOL
HAHAHA, my step-son called BS instantly and he knows his stuff but I"m still waiting for my friend that flies professionally and was a chopper pilot in Nam to give me his "onion"Quote:

it has been done before but that one was fake. any plane bounce that hard would really come apart.
wings cant come off that cleanly without tearing up flight control cables on those small planes. It would of wadded up the bell cranks and other flight control mechanisms to the point that neither side would of been controllable. Great job though it had me going for a minute or two. I was looking for where the spliced in the RC plane for the real one?
an f15 was landed without a left wing. i think the stain was worse to repair .
Think that might sober you right up right quick! LOL
1st rule of flying............. fly the plane !
It was an Israeli F-15. Most of the right wing was sheared off by a collision with an A-4. The pilot couldn't see the wing damage because of leaking fuel and fuel vapor. He said that if he had seen how much of the wing was torn off, he would have ejected.Quote:

I flew on one once and vowed I'd never get on another one. It shook and rattled so bad I thought the overhead was going to come down and hit me in the head.Quote:
