Someone sent this to me and I just had to share. This is one wicked landing.

Update:
Ok, so after a few comment questioning the authenticity of this video I did some research. Turns out it most likely is a very clever fake designed to market the KillaThrill clothing company. A few things I’ve seen pointed out here and there:
- Engine noises are out of sync
- The bounce and stop on landing looks like an R/C and would most likely reduce a real aircraft to a twisted pile of metal.
- Wing seems to be missing wires and control cables that you’d expect to see hanging

Here’s an interesting comment I saw on AVWeb.com:

The spin after the wing departs is in the wrong direction. In a spin, the outside wing is flying and the inside wing is stalled so the aircraft will rotate around the stalled wing. On the video, there is no outside wing.

So our conclusion is the video is a fake but it’s still pretty darn cool to watch.
