You saw a radio controlled model plane land and then you saw a real person
getting out of the same type but real airplane.

Two different airplanes.
Notice how the right wing is hidden as the pilot opens the canopy.

I believe what you guys say about them swaping out the RC plane for the real thing.. but I had a hard time seeing it/catching them. Good job on the fake ;)
Besides: If it was real, wouldnt there have been a large ammount of fuel spillage when the fuel tank fell off... Fuel Tank AkA Wing :)

Sorry SkyLab. I missed your previous post on this same video. My bad.

Also the over the top guy shouting "RUUUUN!!!" does not sound like a real reaction and despite dodgy camerawork throughout, the cameraman is able to conveniently keep the plane perfectly centred at the moment of landing - a point when due to the sudden change of speed and direction he'd be very likely to lose the target given the filming skills he demonstrates during the rest of the clip. It all points to the "dodgy" camerawork being quite deliberate.

I'm willing to go a step further and say that the 'real' airplane is actually Computer Graphic entirely. Notice that you never ACTUALLY See the pilot climb down, as the film ends before that.

And as far as the RC, if you look at the plane just after the moment of landing (with a bounce that would destroy a fullsized plane - deliberately out of focus to allow for the CG model to be fazed in)... The blades of grass are far too large (because the plane is far too small in reality).

That or they set some crazy grass on that infield. ;)
