Fake or Real--You decide


Jumbo-1.wmv


Although quite interesting, a number of people within the aviation community feel that this sequence on link above may be faked. Some of the reasons given are that there are no visible navigation nor landing lights, the crosswind component appears to change significantly between the two final segments shown in this video, and braking appears to be too sudden. You decide...
Not yet checked on Snopes.

I used to fly Dumbo when i toured with the Disney On Parade shows and had never tried a crosswind landing. Who ever put this to gather is pretty good!!!
