Video (from life?) of plane landing, with one wing.

I think it just has to be fake. In Il2, when it happens, all you can do is bail out, but if it's faked, how?

Apologies if this is well known here, the person who showed me is a MS FS fan, but I don't know whether he follows forums.

This thing has been making the rounds lately on several forums, it is most certainly a fake. The way it bounces and stops at the end defies the laws of physics.

Thanks for that confirmation.

But this F-15 landing with just one wing is not fake:

THAT, is amazing!

The incident is true, but there are a lot of fake fotos and videos from the landing, like the linked video, for example. Only the fotographs shown at the end are real, not the video.

You know when you see it on HistoryChannel, but a lot of screenshots from that video are posted elsewhere and stated to be real.

When the wing comes off, the plane rolls the wrong way for a full size aircraft. Being a model aircraft with a massive power:weight ratio, it can overcome the loss of one wing!

As for how the video is made, well I believe it's a very clever example of video overlays plus chromakey (bluescreen) effect. You see (1) A video of a model aircraft with the wing coming off; (2) Then for the landing, that video is overlain against a separate video of the background. The bumpy landing helps blur the transition to (3) where the bluescreen effect is used to show a pilot, and people running toward the aircraft.

Very clever!

The people and plane are real. The transition takes place between model and real plane just before landing. One of the fundi's on another site measured whole aspects of the plane before and during landing on the video to prove it was fake. The landing is genuine. The loss of wing is fake.

that was dumb
