One lesson might be "don't park it with full up elevator". It's strange
to me a camera would be focused on such a small area, unless it was an
intentional event.
Intentional indeed. I'd say it's a model.
Agreed. It doesn't look windy enough, judging from the way the scenery
isn't waving (much), to lift even quite a light GA aircraft. Nothing is
really moving apart from a bit of dust. And what about that wing being
picked up just after it lifted off: natural stability or a crafty twitch
on the sticks?
