Is this a put-on?
Is this video possible? Is this a put-on by a pilot/plane of
extraordinary means? To recap the video: Stunt pilot loses a wing during an air show. Aircraft keeps flying for 30 seconds, sometimes upside down. Just as plane is about to crash, plane becomes level and pilot lands on main gear. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i21pDT3jips |

Is this video possible? Not a chance..... Note that after touchdown, the camera lens is perpendicular to the track of the a/c and remains that way until the a/c is nearly stopped. To be flying on fuselage lift alone, the a/c must be traveling at a fairly high rate of speed and therefore, the camera at the same speed. The camera did not "pan" during the touchdown sequence.

In a german usenet group (de.rec.luftfahrt) we had a longer thread about that video. It is a marketing campaign for the brand painted on the airplane (I didn't write the brand name by intention!). Just have a look he http://www.jamesandersson.com or google for the brand greets from germany, Christian -- Please remove "_ohne_spam" from the e-mail adress |
