Yep 100% fake.

Look how it lands....... the way it bounces so quickly... and that it just doesn't look right overall.

The often occuring blurryness of the footage is a dead give away and as B-17 said , that pathetic landing

The landing looked like the sort of graphics you'd get from a game like Grand Theft Auto

Looks like a remote control airplane with the ending spliced in.

That's an enlarged, close-up vesion of footage posted here before. The originasl footage was much clearer and not as 'jerky'. I've also seen it elsewhere, and a 'still' in a magazine. It was apparently real, and happened at an aerobatic competition!

Can you apply enough stick to compensate for the loss of an entire wing?

I've just been told it's actually a splice from a real plane over a model, done in CS4 by a studio. I'd love to know 100% either way.

I first saw it quite awhile ago. I couldn't believe my eyes, either, so I made a cursory search for corrobating reports that would confirm that it was an actual event. I turned up zilch...

It wasn't much of a search, and I know that absence of evidence is not necessarily evidence of absence, but it seems reasonable to assume that such an extraordinary event in a very public venue would be reported somewhere...

Until I can see some credible independent corroboration, I'm saying that it's a hoax.

It was part of an overseas commercial. If something like this had really happened, it would have been all over the news.

Wasn't this supposed to be made for an energy drink commercial?

Sorry to bust any impressed feelings, but Snopes has a few things to say on the matter:

snopes.com: One Wing Plane Landing

But somehow I wish that it was true, that would've made one hell of an impressive story!

Cheers,

I've seen the video debunked too.
I thought I saw a video showing how it was done.
I also thought there was a thread here that proved it was fake.
Maybe it was on another forum...

The guy really does a good job pointing out the CGI aircraft versus the real one...
