I doubt Arnold would be capable of that bit of flying. Not without several pairs of trousers anyway.

Ok, maybe I should have made the link a little more obvious....

Incredible piece of flying

WTF. I take it the footage is a very good fake?

I was convinced it was model until the guy got out at the end, maybe a bit of jiggery pockery when the camera goes out of focus towards the end?

If thats real... wow.

Same here, when it lands it looks exceptionally like a model, but that could be something to do with the camera, I'm not an expert on photography.

Assuming it's real (I have my doubts) it's an astonishing piece of skilled flying by an incredibly lucky pilot.

Edit. Snopes to the rescue, it appears to be a good fake.
