I saw this video while I was at work and I was impressed that the pilot survived and appeared unhurt.
As they say looks can be deceiving. I did a bit of research and discovered that this was a hoax, from the plane flying to the pilot getting out. When I first saw this, I was very impressed and commented to a fellow co-worker "Man that guy is the guy you need to go to Vegas, with luck like that, he would own a casino."
Well when you watch it again and again, some things start to jump out at me, the big thing was that the plane seemed toylike with the flight characteristics. Well I decided to post the video under "lucky Pilot" and apparently others have reached the same conclusion and proved that it was a hoax.
Here is the video in question...
Now I did remember a F-15 landing with most of a wing missing, so I will find that video to post an actual airplane landing missing most of a wing.
Yep, reality beats tricks EVERY time... And that IS an amazing video of the F-15!!!
ReplyDeleteStory I heard going through F-15 transition was that there was more lift generated by the fuselage alone of an F-15 than the entire F-4. It certainly was a LOT of fun to fly.
ReplyDeleteJuvat, considering the Phantom had a glide ratio of 1:2, I'd believe it!
