Oh come on ::) That`s obviously a fake! The two paint schemes of the aircraft are different for a start and if a plane did loose a wing it would be almost uncontrolable (F-15`s aside ;D)

Clearly that is a model,the landing is ridiculously short and bounces like it was on strings.

Fake, but credit to the guy who made it as it seems to be fooling people all over the world :)

A few things; the camera loses track of the aircraft just as the wing snaps off.. coincidence? Again the camera also loses track of the aircraft during the uncontrolable freefall yet when focuses back, the aircraft seems to be under control. Plus the touch down is badly faked  ;D

Whilst there was once an F-15 which managed to land after losing it's wing in an accident, it is practically physically impossible to land an aircraft with one wing :)

Edit; Angry beat me to it :)

Seen it before and thought it was a fantastic piece of editing :)
