Title: An apt name for the plane

Right wing comes unglued. Pilot makes a beautiful 3-point landing after a display of arial acrobaticcs probably not practiced even on a computer game.

stay safe.

But I'm betting something about that video was practiced on the computer...

No, wait. Produced. That's the word I'm looking for.

Hasn't this been posted on APS before?

Not a real plane. Not a real event.

Post by: 230RN on May 15, 2015, 10:13:05 AM: Yeah, this was on here or somewhere and the consensus was it was a fake. From what I recall, there were supposedly differences in the tail painting which revealed it was a model in the air and a real plane on the ground, with a bit of image fakery involved. However, there is apparently still debate about it.

This one fooled me, too, but the voting there was that it was a very well-done fake generated by Nissan:

Looking at the video and the well-done "news reporting" without any other referent, I'd bet you'd believe it, too.

After all this, I changed my default position from believing everything I see to everything's a fake.

And I've been fooled by taking that position, too. I'd call BS and it was actual fact. My misperceptions happen with women, too.

Dang.

Dayamed if you do, dayamed if you don't.

Good Ol' McDonell-Douglas Technology. "Even a brick will fly if you put a big enough engine in it."
