I see… I couldn’t understand how it would be possible but that explains it!

**It** (losing a wing and continuing to fly) isn’t necessarily impossible, it’s just that this particular video is a fake.

This was the first thing that came to my mind.  
Can I transfer to F-15s? 😃

It’s a well made CG video, but seriously, can people seriously not tell that it is fake?  
Aerodynamics aside, there is so much about the video that just looks completely fake.

aside from the somewhat sarchastic sounding voices, to the oh so perfect and timely transition from being in a truely messed up situation to a landing better than I’ve ever made with both wings, tail, landing gear, prop, engine and paint job attached?

I couldn’t tell 😉

I’m with you the production was a little on the staged side.

Regarding the F-15 video, I saw that on TV maybe a year or two ago. Amazing story

The fact that the plane is unregistered and that there aren’t any reports filed with the FAA, NTSB, Transport Canada or any Department of Transportation pretty much seals the deal for me !
