This one?

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.

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