I generally never post links to things like this but this video clip is
an exception... I think it's a 737, and its landing gear proved to be
much stouter than I'd ever have expected it to be. Yikes!

Its not a 737. Look at the wingtips. Looks more like an Airbus,
probably a 319 or 320.

That is so obviously a fake....or at least I would HOPE it's
obvious. Never can tell these days, with the state of public
education and all....

You're right, I didn't notice any the first time I watched it. It has the
'delta' shaped winglets, above & below the wing.

I'm sure the first time most of us saw that was on the T.V. commercial.
I would be surprised if they actually went out and did that to an
airplane for a T.V commercial. I'm sure they just computer gen'd it up.
I wouldn't think the FAA would be too happy about busting up a plane
for a commercial.
