    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.

    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?

    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.

    I was always told that the first rule of flying was to make as many successful landings as you made take-offs . . .
