| Amazing piece of flying I have never seen anything like this and am still gobsmacked. I do not believe it is doctored footage, and even though I have been flying since 1971, it is difficult to believe the level of nerves and total cold calculating control. Please check this out...

| Notice how fast he opens his canopy? I bet that's because he couldn't breathe because I'm sure he sh!t himself 4 or 5 times. Seriously..........What an amazing pilot.

| Yup, the colours don't look right and notice the prop, it's obviously CGI.

| 1. Wing pops off in mid-flight, no ragged edges of ripped metal or trailing wires or smoke or anything. 2. Airplane flying knife-edge just off the ground, with still-attached wing UP, not down as gravity would normally pull the heavier side of the unbalanced aircraft. 3. Airplane does not lean when it finally comes to a bouncing stop, but sits level and normal, almost as if it still had an un-edited wing attached to the starboard side.
