Now here's a pilot!
 
If I were in an airplane and things went wrong I think I'd like to have this
guy as the pilot.

This has nothing to do with politics - thank God!:LOL:

video quality cuts out right as he lands, makes me wonder

HI Cobra 10-29-2008 10:31 PM

FST FOX - try again - it plays until he starts to climb out after landing.

NeoConMan 10-29-2008 11:29 PM

Fake.
Sorry.

:cool:

Something fishy with that video. The air speed of probably 100 MPH is reduced to about 15 MPH in a couple of plane lengths once he touches down.

Joe Wicked 10-30-2008 04:57 AM

There was a video of a military plane (F15 I think) that lost a wing and he was able to return home. It was real and was really well documented. I will have to search for it.

Joe Wicked 10-30-2008 04:59 AM

Found it.

trularin 10-30-2008 06:10 AM

That is some amazing flying!!

:D

J. T. Toad 10-30-2008 08:30 AM

I think the first video is real.... a real RC plane, spliced into a clip of the plane it duplicates. Fun clip.

HI Cobra 10-30-2008 10:54 AM

Here's the interview with the pilot - FWIW.

J. T. Toad 10-30-2008 11:31 AM

ok.. additional reasons why I don't buy it

1) something this miraculous would have been all over the msm and aviation publications

2) the guy doesn't talk like a pilot

3) go to the clip with sound

http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=96DQk72ruRk

read the comments.

"
No, it is not real...it is a video created by the KillaThrill sports apparel company. They're hoping the video goes viral.

You will notice that AirRacer89 just joined YouTube yesterday, uploaded the same video, and has nearly the same favorites."

J. T. Toad 10-30-2008 11:34 AM

4) wings just don't break off like that.

as the f15 demonstrated, someone must know to find the clip (sorry I don't have time) of the biplane whose top spar broke in two in a chicago (?) air show.

J. T. Toad 10-30-2008 11:39 AM

5) 4 led me to this... pause the clip @ 51 seconds... Where's the spar? There's no spar 'hole' where the spar would transverse the exposed rib.

I grabbed the ball and pulled it back 10+ times, and I still can't find the 'fake'?

Excaliber 10-30-2008 01:33 PM

Looks real to me!

cobra bill 10-30-2008 01:53 PM

It's possible to do, one would really have to have their whit's about them, it looks like he managed to get the craft inverted and used the rudder to stabilize it and the throttle to ease his decent, that aircraft can stay in place under its own power so it is possible.

NeoConMan 10-30-2008 03:39 PM

Huh?
Possible to do?
Have you ever flown an airplane?

Okay, now I understand where your political logic comes from....
:D

FAKE!

The F-15 thing is real for sure, but that's a whole different world.
This is what kills me about the internet, and the "sleuths" who dig this stuff up....

The real world is amazing, and to document it as we do now with modern photography and distribute it to the entire world for free is more amazing still.

Yet, many people still function fully only in a dream world.
I don't get it.

cobra bill 10-30-2008 04:44 PM

Actually yes I have, both in combat and civil why?

clayfoushee 10-30-2008 05:02 PM

I've gotta agree with those who believe it is fake. In addition to all the other reasons cited, if one wing came off, it would have taken the aileron controls with it, he wouldn't have had aileron on the other wing. Without aileron, there is no way to produce that last minute, and abrupt left roll. The ailerons on opposite wings are rigged together.....one goes down the other goes up. That is how you get a fixed-wing aircraft to roll.

Aviation 101:

1) elevator controls pitch
2) rudder controls yaw
3) aileron controls roll

cobra bill 10-30-2008 05:07 PM

Without a frame by frame examination it's hard to tell I understand the doubt, but even with one aileron you can achieve roll, and using the throttle you could control decent.
