#3 We've had this before, and I've deleted about a half-dozen more over the past month in the posting queue.

No more please.

Or, something like that.

#8 I don't think it's a trick aircraft, I think its a combination of a real aircraft and a radiocontrolled plane that looks the same and which loses a wing and lands. Both are edited together. You'll notice the plane goes out of frame just before the wing breaks, and during landing just before the plane stops and the pilot gets out.

I believe this was created for an ad although Im not sure what they were selling.
