Miracle landing

[CGabriel]

This video shows a stunt plane that looses a wing and manages to land the plane!

If authentic, it is a real miracle. Only a stunt plane flyer could have possibly pulled this off.

Yeah, up until the landing it looked pretty realistic. It was hard to figure out how he could have flipped the plane to level just a instant before hitting the ground. Difficult to understand how that would be possible without both wings.

I got suckered ..

Now read this http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...6-landed-after-half-its-wing-was-sheared-off/ and realize this sort of landing can somehow actually happen

Pretty amazing stuff to control a plane with that degree of damage. Don't those fighters have thrust vectoring? With computer intervention it may have been more controllable.
