Well....that certainly must have given the pilot a *thrill*, (living up to the plane's name).

PS: Amazing recovery. I can't even say that was a crash landing. Besides the wing, not a scratch on the plane.

Harrumph! It's going to take more than some 'internet video' to convince me.

Here's a video claiming to be the Making-Of the Killa Thrill 'One Wing Landing' Viral Video. Could be fake... :evilgrin:

Other than this clip, I've never ever heard of anything being fake on the internet. You live and learn I guess :thinks:

And talking of flying - and coming from the Netherlands it can't possibly be fake:

Inventors come to the aid of bereft schoolboy by turning his dead pet rat into a DRONE - YouTube

(Anyone brave enough to face the UK's Daily Mail, can also see a flying cat, flying ostrich, and the soon-to-be-revealed jet-powered shark.)
