Gotta tell ya. After watching it touch the ground, and stop. I expected to find out...it was a radio controlled model, or
somebody really good at editing video's playing a good trick on us.

Anyone REALLY know?

[Abbey Marie]

Am I the only one apprehensive about a thread on flying? ;)

[Marcus Aurelius]

Sorry, Sass... best fake ever...lol.

Good find though.

I promise not to mention the use of flaps on the single winged aircraft in the video:poke:

And I promise not to mention that you are not going to mention flaps. :poke:

Well, it 'would' be difficult to do that with half the flaps missing....:poke:

I'm just saying.

If there's one thing I've learned over about 10 years of this stuff: people can and will argue over ANYTHING, regardless of logic.

very true.

Here's a screen capture of the video. I added a thin red line in a rough circle around the plan, just before the wing comes off. if you look just inside that thin red line, you can see the shading difference in the sky, where they video was Photoshopped.

Still, at normal speed, it's an impressive fake none the less. I could not have done it.

They have no definitive proof that it is not true. Used the words "most likely" so I choose to believe that it was awesome until absolute proof it was a hoax is found.

In your video, Sassy, study the "bounce" in the plane (which would weigh a significant amount despite it being a small, single engine). The bounce tells it all.

[aboutime]

Sassy. Sorry to spoil your fun.

[SassyLady]

You guys are such killajoys!!!

:slap:

[Kathianne]

You guys are such killajoys!!!

:slap:

:laugh2: Perfect response!

[aboutime]

Okay Sassy, and Kathianne. Yes, we're Killjoys.

But, what would both of you be telling all of us if we just took the video at face value, and made silly remarks about
whether the pilot was GREAT, and able to land his plane with only One Wing????

A joke, is a joke, is a joke.

Smile. Take a deep breath. There's too much other stuff out there not worthy of a laugh.

No way! You're wrong on that one.

[Thunderknuckles]

I believe Sassy knew this was a hoax all along. She's too smart to be fooled by such nonsense.
This was her kind way of reminding us to never trust the Germans.

Oh sweet Abbey. Don't fret, a couple of posters can be counted on to make snarky remarks.

I admire the skill of that pilot. I figured he was a dead man when his wing came free.

Cessna made an airplane called Citabria.

Spell that name backwards and you will understand why.

[Marcus Aurelius]

...I admire the skill of that pilot. I figured he was a dead man when his wing came free...

It... was... a... fake...dumbass.

[Little-Acorn]

Not to mention the plane rolling and spinning to the LEFT after losing all the lift on the RIGHT side.

[Voted4Reagan]

Good... DONT...!!

Now go turn on your FM Radio.

Great Clip... Even better Fake.

Props for the fake... it was almost believable.

They REALLY ARE....coming to take him away...ha, ha, ho, ho, OH MY!

Ding, ding ... go to the head of the class TK!!!

[SassyLady]

Thank you to everyone for ferreting out all the different "takes" on this video. The expertise of the posters on this forum for doing whatever it takes to get to the truth is awesome.

I disagree...lol.
