You know, as a RC flyer, when I first saw the video I thought that it was a
model...First instincts are right...<Grin> Surely was impressive....

View the first link to see a side by side comparison of a still taken during
the flight and a still taken of the aircraft after the landing.
It is obvious when comparing the stills that these are two different but
similar, aircraft.


The one in flight is an RC model.


It is a fake, intended as an ad for the KillaThrill fashion company in
Germany.



Compares a still taken during the flight with a still taken after landing,
with talking points as to why it is a fake :)

The movie was intended as a "viral ad" on the web.

You may have seen Burger King's "subservient chicken", if not, it is one of
the URLs listed in the above explanation of viral ads.

A commentary on the one winged landing, giving the web sites of those
involved in the ad.

Guys, I just got this from Harry R oberts, a friend of mine from when we
worked together at Flight Safety. I was a little suspicious of that video myself
when I first saw it.

By the way, Harry is an old troop carrier pilot from way back. He was in
C-119s with the 815th at Ashiya and flew C-123s at Sewart before he volunteered
for the Air Commandos and went to Hurlburt and became involved with the FACs.
He was a FAC in Vietnam.
