Thats fake, look how fake the plane looks at the end, and a landing like that would have absolutely annihilated that plane.

:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o I hope that guy brought clean under garments!

Edit:
After reading the comments, I can't decide. The smoke in the begining does look a little unreal against the clouds, and I'm still not sure about that bounce at the end. It would be nice if a real world pilot commented on that. But either way, It got my heart racing!! ;)

Oh please, oh please. One of the fakest (is that a word?) things I've seen. This is what I was thinking whiile watching that. Read some of the comments to the video too. If the plane lost its wing like that, it would enter a death roll.

Not necessarily. If it's possible with a model you could do it in a full sized aircraft. http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/votw/VideoOfTheWeek_OneWing_RCLanding_199066-1.html

Aerobatic champion Neil Williams did something even more incredible back in 1970. http://www.aerobatics.org.uk/repeats/zlin_wing_failure.htm

Have you seen the one with the F-15 that lost a wing and still landed? The pilot didn't even know it until afterwards.

But if I remember correctly the pilot of the other aircraft wasn't as lucky. :(
