Nopers.

Biggest pair of brass clankers I have ever seen.

There has been video out there for a while of an F-15 or F-16 landing with one wing torn off after some manuever.

But this is stomp down amazing.

I had to google it because I could have sworn someone had sent this to me before.

It's definitely fake. It's a cool video though.

Anybody with an ounce of aviation knowledge will tell you it's fake. Besides, the landing is VERY similar to some RC model airplane landings I've witnessed before.

Part of a wing missing maybe.  But with the full wing gone?  Not likely.
