It would appear that our suspicions were on target, at least according to the good folks at snopes…
Talk about a rudder throw! Mike sent this with the notation, “And you think you’re a good pilot… whew!”
Impressive, but to be honest, Mike, I think it’s “CG” trickery. For one thing, right after the starboard wing “falls off”, the plane begins to spiral (counterclockwise) “into” the remaining wing which, I believe, would be aerodynamically impossible. In addition, and this is purely speculative, the plane looks a little “wrong” when it first lands, a little too “CG”. I’ll do some research into it, but you’re a pilot; what do you think?
Anyone else have an opinion?
