My apologies for duplication.  Posted here about a year ago, I found it yesterday on a military site and thought it is of interest.

I am curious about the issue of it being fake.  If it's real, we all would agree it's a terrific landing, very skillful.  And I'm NOT convinced it's fake.  (Perhaps it's a matter of trust.)  Faking would have involved a group of adventurous onlookers to pose and nicely done graphics, including shadows and lighting, tire smoke, etc.

Is there a concensus on Simviation?

Grin Grin This generation of CG editors all over the net has really poisoned many minds as people are always thinking things are fake. It is a real world airport. American Airlines used to fly 1 flight in there a day and the video link with the pilot flying is real!
