I can't decide.

Did this really happen?

Or is it doctored?

Too much important stuff happens off screen, and the landing
doesn't look real

This incident is fake, however Rockwell Collins is currently working on
this
very subject. The following link has a video showing an F-18 scale model
flying with 60 % of the wing missing.

AFAICT, this incident isn't a fake:

Uh, ok, what part of it is not fake?

It's a History Channel dramatization!


The video at the end of the aircraft with no wing. The interview with
the pilot.

I didn't say they showed the incident, I said the incident was a facke.
