Best Recovery I Have Ever Seen

[Not 4N]

I know there are a lot of pilots here who would appreciate this - amazing stuff if it is real and not an RC and fancy editing.

Didn't someone here on The 'Forum post a similiar incident involving a jet fighter???

Evidently a landing IS possile in this situation...but I fear outhouse LUCK and the hand of God have more to do with the landing than skill ever could.

looks fake to me.......but if it isn't holy $*^#!

Thats the benefit of having the power to produce lift.... or rather an over abundance of power. Not saying anything to diminish the pilots skills or the weight of his brass. But, without the power he'd be RIP.

EP. I think you where talking about the F15 that the isreali pilot flew after loss of wing in combat. Difference here is the f15's body generates considerable lift. Still another feat of skill not to be played down in the least but, ranking the two this guy in the stunt plane wins hands down.

Let's add folks don't try this at home in your Cessna. :lol

Yup. That was it. And THAT incident evidently was ligit.

But, as soroush & somelee have suggested, this stunt plane thing does leave one 'wondering' just a bit! That said, I don't have enough "savvy" re: things aeronautical to pass definitive judgment beyond what I stated in the previous post.
