    Plane Loses Wing During Flight

    A plane does a full flip and while it is flying level suddenly loses both of its wings obviously causing it to crash.

    Is a plane like that even suppose to do such high performance moves like this? It would seem to me that would have caused and unreasonable amount of stress resulting in the wing separation.

    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    No, Matt. I thought the same thing before I clicked on the clip. This is an acrobat show with a tiny prop-job.

    um... methinks those wings came off because that isn't an aerobatic airplane...

    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.
