Just about every non-pilot friend/family member I know has sent me this vid.

AvWeb even wrote a story on it...

First time i watched that video it was so incredibly obvious how fake it was. The physics just don't work at all. My classmate actually thought it was real and tried to argue it, not sure how anyone could fall for that one.

Augh, me too. They don't seem to write back when I tell them "yeah, that's a great RC plane video", ha ha.

You know, that is so obviously CG'ed, it's hard to believe otherwise educated people would think that it's real.

Thats exactly what I said the first time I saw that video

The F-15 event was real at least. You should check that one out Duck.

Especially at the end when it is very clearly computer graphics. Oh, and airplanes can't pull out of that steep of a dive that late and come in for a nice three point landing. It was funny because basically every family member and friend sent that with some note saying how great that pilot was for not crashing. :banghead:
