Anyone know if this video is a hoax?

Mark said...: A lot of skill, a very powerful stunt aircraft (couldn't do that in a regular general aviation plane), and a lot of luck.

I believe it to be wholly true - you can't fake that. At first I thought it was a model, but no. Thanks for putting it up!

Passed on to all my pilot friends.

cowgirl said...: Thanks Mark,
I tried looking it up on snopes, but have found nothing.

Wouldn't that be the ride of a lifetime.; October 29, 2008 at 10:58 PM

The pilot in that video though was extremely skilled to be able to survive that incident. By using torque and what little controll he had left he was successful. Bravo!!; October 30, 2008 at 10:31 PM
cowgirl said...: Thank you for posting this Anonymous. How interesting!!
I can't imagine what went through the pilot's mind while bringing that F-16 safely to the ground.
What skill!!

Again, thank you for the post! :); October 30, 2008 at 11:03 PM
Anonymous said...: It is a great impersonation but a total hoax. It was done with a model airplane. Check out the landing and see how it bounces, just like a model. Another sign is when the plane turns on the run way, there is a brief blur to hide the changing of the perspective of a model airplane with a full size version. Quite well done though.; January 6, 2009 at 11:45 PM

Thanks for posting, I will check it out!! :); January 6, 2009 at 11:49 PM
