~S~ In my 25 years of flying airplanes and been almost every place and seen almost every thing that pilot who lost a complete wing and still landed safely is the most amazing flying I have ever seen.

Prop how can you tell its a fake

Look at the smoke trail, and the propeller when the engine stops. Completely unnatural. I think part of the footage was taken from an R/C competition.

Here's a link that proves it ain't real.

Hogan I am probably one of the most gullible people you will meet. I am very honest and so trusting. I am known to believe the BS that some spread in the Yard where I work. It was a ongoing joke. I try to trust to much in what people say. Oh well no matter doesn't change things. ~S~

The Blohm & Voss BV 222 Wiking (Viking) was a large, six-engined German flying boat of World War II, and the largest flying boat to achieve operational status during the war.Prior to World War II, the German airline Deutsche Lufthansa had carried out many transatlantic mail flights. However, their main interest was passenger transport, and they initiated a program in 1936 that culminated in an order for three BV 222 flying boats designed by Richard Vogt.

Construction of the first prototype, V1, began in January 1938, with construction of the V2 and V3 following within weeks. V1 made its test flight on 7 September 1940, carrying the civil registration D-ANTE. During trials it demonstrated that it could carry up to 92 passengers, or 72 patients on stretchers over short distances at a maximum speed of 239 mph (385 km/h).[1] The flight characteristics were found to be satisfactory, but with some improvements required. Further trials lasted until December 1940, when the V1 passed into Luftwaffe service, receiving a military paint scheme and the registration CC+EQ (later X4+AH).

The type was noted for a long flat floor inside the cabin and a large square cargo door aft of the wing on the starboard side. The flat floor was a welcome novelty for that era. Only thirteen aircraft were thought to have been completed.

Originally powered by Bramo 323 Fafnir radial engines, later aircraft were powered by six 1,000 hp Jumo 207C inline two-stroke diesel engines. The use of diesels permitted refueling at sea by U-boats. C-13 aircraft was a sole example fitted with Jumo 205C and later Jumo 205D engines.

ended up being ours, then we gave it to the brits.
