Exceptionally cool-headed pilot! Outstanding.

Actually probably not CGI, but an Radio Controlled model plane. I've seen an RC pilot do this before. Just goes to prove if you have enough power, you can get anything to fly.

Look's totally real to me. I'm not a pilot but I have eyewitnesses a acobatic airplane crash during a stunt. Female pilot intermediate level during 8 point compass dive who did not pull out. We on the ground knew she was not going to make it due to her speed and promity to ground. Can we poll this Real or Fake Video

Sorry to pop any bubbles. This is a hoax - actually a viral ad by killathrilla.
The behavior of the plane in flight and especially on landing clearly marks it as an RC (Radio Controlled). For example, when a real wing goes - there is a lot of @!&% and derision flying from both the wing and the wing root...

No aquarium, no tank in a marine land, however spacious it may be, can begin to duplicate the conditions of the sea. And no dolphin who inhabits one of those aquariums or one of those marine lands can be considered normal.

Look's totally real to me. I'm not a pilot
Even for those of us who are pilots, there was a lot of buzz and confusion about this video when it came out. In additional to the Snopes link, here's AvWeb's discussion of the video. The thing that really tipped it off for me was the landing. A real non-RC airplane wouldn't bounce like that after landing from that apparent height with that much momentum; the landing gear would be bits of rubber and aluminum under the body of the airplane.
(And hey, back during my flight training, my instructor was always impressed with my ability to drop an aircraft onto a runway from too high up, so that makes me an expert, right?

As a pilot myself I wish I could fly as nice as this RC. But even with a wing the air stalls are real nice. lol But if someone wants to fly with me let me know I just cant fly like that. I am just a standard pilot. HEHEHEHHE

As I recall, any landing you walk away from, is a good one. Any one where they can use the crate again, is a great one!(And hey, back during my flight training, my instructor was always impressed with my ability to drop an aircraft onto a runway from too high up, so that makes me an expert, right?

I only left pieces of the airplane lying on the runway twice (so far).
I wasn't the only student with an apparent vendetta against the rear tiedown ring, though; I did notice several other aircraft that I hadn't flown recently occasionally missing that ring. The flight school finally installed skid plates to protect that ring, and the problem went away.

- we had a tradition that if you forgot to unlock the tailwheel - the mechs would give you the broken pin - which you then wore on your dogtags... some of us had quite a collection.
- Looking back, the best and most unbelievable accomplishment of my aviation days was having a logbook that recorded an equal number of takeoffs and landings.
