  • 20000footobservation ANSWER: It's real, here's why... by 20000footobservation, 1142481439 Report sent Spam Reply [+15] Thumbs Up Thumbs Down

    First of all the plane took off on the runway not the taxiway. Perspective is the thing God gave us by putting two eyeballs in our heads. If you know anything about the layout of airports those two lanes tend to run parallel to each other on most all fields. The pilot lifted off, stayed in ground effect for a rather considerable amount of time (for a reason), built up a lot of punch and his/or her big "finale" was pulling the plane up into a brief hard climb. Notice that the hardness of the climb tapers off real quick once all that airspeed bled off. I've done this manuever hundreds of times in GA aircraft and BELEIVE IT OR NOT FOLKS it can be done in airliners too - epecially when they're relatively light on fuel and free of vomit hurling passengers. The latter is the main reason you don't see airliners doing that on a regular basis. Pulling up hard is no biggy... fact is that aircraft is capable of doing a roll too. In fact , just about any aircraft made is capable of doing a nice slow barrel roll maintaining 1G and still be well within safety margins.
    I'm guessing it's not an airshow because there's no evidence of a crowd.
    Anyone who's ever been around radio controlled model aircraft would know that ducted fan "toy airliners" bob around all over the place with the slightest puff of wind when they fly. They don't fly with the precision steadiness and mass that a real airliner like this one demonstrates. I could go one and one why this is real but I have to eat dinner... that's if you believe a guy who's an FAA certified pilot , a radio control airplane hobbyist and a regular airshow affectionado.

      Not to mention that a plane that big can't accellerate that fast. That was accelleration characteristic of smaller twin engine jets and fighters. And there is no exhaust... All that thrust to get accellerate into a steep climb like that and no exhaust. I work next to LAS and watch planes take off all day. They all have a noticeable dirty brown exhaust trail.

    • snookums Is it a bird? no, it is a model aircraft... by snookums, 1150189791 Report sent Spam Reply [+1] Thumbs Up Thumbs Down

      Any person that can see, can see it is a model aircraft.Look when it passes the row of static aircraft. This model of a Airbus A319 is smaller than the Cessnas, Pipers and the Beach Sundowner. I rest my case. I have tqwo eyes and can see. there are none so blind as those who cannot see.

      The plane took off from the runway much further away then the place other planes were sitting, that's why it looks smaller.

    • Ken from Dublin Okay so here is a short answer /question... by Ken from Dublin, 1153738152 Report sent Spam Reply [-2] Thumbs Up Thumbs Down

      How come it sounds EXACTLY like a commercial airliner with it's gutteral ahine and high pitched whistles taking off, and not the buzz you would expect to hear from a Model aircraft?

    • harvestmouse noises by harvestmouse, 1153775560 Report sent Spam Reply [-1] Thumbs Up Thumbs Down

      1. if it was fake, they could dub sound on later
      2. model airliners can be fitted with tiny jet engines (a comparatively simple design) as can be seen on another video on here; a scaled-down replica of a passenger jet. it has jet engines and does not buzz.

    • rajaoa Yo this is a complete Hoax by rajaoa, 1174844585 Report sent Spam Reply Thumbs Up Thumbs Down

      The plane is there taking off and shooting up, true, but u should realise that the dramatic accent into the sky is a simple video trick by simply accelarating the video frame rate soon after the accent and finally bringing back the frame rate to normal once the plane had stabilized in the sky.

    • Sidus It's not real, here's why... by Sidus, 1155943489 Report sent Spam Reply Thumbs Up Thumbs Down

      That bobbing you are talking about is present immediately after liftoff. Not to mention the runway it is taking off from is running in front of the little personal planes and cars. It's a scale model. The sound is dubbed. The way it was filmed makes it look fairly realistic but it's still very noticible when you are paying attention. If they wanted to make it look more real they would have slowed playback down about 10%

      That is why he kept it level and low to the ground for so long he was picking up enough speed or momentum so that he could pull that manuever (sp) off, if he would of pulled up like that right after taking off, that planes engines couldn't have generated enough power to keep it from stalling, so he got a little speed going, and well as you saw, up he went.

      It's airspeed that matters... not the angle of attack. Any flight instructor will drill into your head “watch that airspeed indicator” The max angle at which an aircraft can climb out is a constantly changing variable.
      Hot days, cold days, humidity density altitude ect… My aircrafts’ climb performance would just about triple in the wintertime vs. summer.

      and for those who model plane conspirators I already posted this enticing little factoid. This video is from Friedrichshafen Airshow, Germany Apr 26th 1997.

  • ICARUS08854 I’m a FAA certified pilot by ICARUS08854, 1141185550 Report sent Spam Reply [+3] Thumbs Up Thumbs Down

    Look let me tell you something. That IS A MODEL AIRPLANE.

    1)No flaps take off and using that short distance for take off! Give me a break! That is not the real Macoy! Airliners that size won’t take off without flaps.


    2)The airplane looks way too small compared to the Cessnas 172 parked in the background…

    No airline pilot would dare to play games in small airport like that.. There are daredevils and there are airline pilots… Two different characters !

    The pitch is to great for an aircraft that size… Is possible but it will require lots of power and being near the limit of angle of attack, you can get an accelerated stall doing that maneuver…. You have to be crazy to do that, with an aircraft that size…

    THAT IS A MODEL PLANE!!!

    • av8r I'm pretty sure you've been in the back ... by av8r, 1144794351 Report sent Spam Reply Thumbs Up Thumbs Down

      .....you're the guy that has the flight attendant come tell the two of us that you heard a noise "that isn't right." If you were an FAA certified pilot you would see that the flaps are retracting as he's accelerating in ground effect. I've done this same type of a take off in an airliner and it is possible. I'm an airline pilot and a daredevil so you're wrong about the "two different characters" statement. It's called trading airspeed for altitude. If you notice he doesn't keep the nose high attitude for long because his airspeed is bleeding off fast. If this video were fake he would have kept the nose high attitude for a lot longer than he did. It's real, Monday Morning Quarterback.

      I am clueless about planes but u are probably right. I have MS Flight Simulator and i cannot perform that maneuver so quickly and if i suddenly shoot up to that angle the plane usually stalls and come crashing back down to earth. and at the end it begins to look more and more like a useless crappy model.

                  ‎2000footobservation is absolutly right. This is an god damn normal A319 commercial jet. You have to think about this: this bird is powered by engines, which are built to power this aircraft AND some 100 people AND a lot of fuel AND a lot of cargo. As ‎2000footobservation said, these aircrafts can do unbelieveable things when they are "empty"! They also can do a 115° bank angle ;)

                    It's a commercial demonstration of the A319 by Airbus Industrie to potential buyers. Near-empty plane had huge power to weight ratio allowing very steep climbs. You can find the original full length footage of this event on many commercial aviation websites. The jet made many passes and some of the climbs were steeper than the one shown.

                      the aircrafts there look bigger then the one that is taking off. that is because those planes a closer to the guy that is taking the video. that is one of the tricks that movie makers used to use when they wanted to make someone look bigger then another person in the movie. for example anyone here seen the movie "Elf" in the scene that is playing in a class room they had the "big elf" sit close up to the camera and the "smaller elfs" sit about 10 meters behind him. plus the wings will not just fall of a plane. I say anyone that thinks that the wing would fall of a plane that makes a stund like that Go and watch the tests they do to the prototype. you will be like WTF. I have seen a test of the latest airbus. they have the wing pulled up to 90 deg. and it was still atached to the aircraft.

                          I can put all of this nonsense to rest for you guys. I was on that 319 that is in the video. I was the first officer in right seat and Captain Ron Schultz was P.I.C. We had two flight engineers, one carrier exec. and no passengers, and a mere 15,000 pounds of fuel. It was a rare time when we had the right people on board, no passengers, and felt like having a lttle fun with a perfectly safe manuever. I don't believe that all five of us would have fit in a model airplane....but I bet if you took all of the brains of the people who think that this airliner is a toy, and put them all together, they would all fit in one of the overhead bins.

We had unloaded the plane and fueled it, told the pilot he was ready to go because there were no passengers on the way back, he was just ferrying it. He told us to watch the take off cause he was going to have some fun. He lifted off, built up speed then pulled up sharp but controlled and climbed until his speed bled off then leveled it out a bit and kept climbing away. and the GA planes are in FRONT of the airliner not behind it

                                                        What is wrong with you people are you really that dumb,

                                                        I have been building and flying RC aircraft and helicopters since I was 7 years old, that means I have 35 years of experience in modeling, I graduated from brooks institute of photography and am by profession a Videographer.

                                                        There are several items to consider in this video.

                                                        1. The location of the Airbus, In the first few frames of the video you can see that the camera man is close to the taxi way and not the runway.
                                                        2 Optics the camera man is using a very long lens (telephoto)
                                                        3 mass of aircraft, when the aircraft noses up there is a considerable delay before the plane begins to climb, If this would have been a model the climb would have been instantaneous.


                                                        Keep in mind that a telephoto lens changes the perspective of an image considerably as it compresses the field of view,

                                                        The GA aircraft are in the foreground not the background. The fact that they look so close to and almost the same size as the Airbus, is because the telephoto lens has compressed the image making everything look really close together.

                                                        You can prove this effect to yourself. Take a camera and find a street that is several miles long, with a lot of telephone poles. Take a picture aiming down the line created by the telephone poles. Now Zoom all the way in and take a picture (This only works with true optical zooms not digital zooms (all they do is crop the image)
